This outstanding new book describes the internals and data structures of the OpenVMS AXP operating system 1.5 in vivid detail. Perhaps the most up-to-date description available for a commercial operating system, OpenVMS AXP Internals and Data Stuctures is an irreplaceable reference for operating system development engineers, operating system troubleshooting experts, systems programmers, consultants and customer support specialists. This books is essential for those interested in learning how OpenVMS AXP runs on the Alpha AXP family of processors. This information is equally applicable to the internals of any modern-day symmetric multi-processing operating system running on a RISC computer. Provides a detailed treatment of the key architectural features of Alpha AXP systems Explores concepts which are equally applicable to the Alpha AXP family of processors and the internals of any modern-day symmetric multi-processing operating system running on a RISC computer Devotes each of the 39 chapters to explaining its topics in case study format

OpenVMS AXP Internals and Data Structures, Version 1.5

Saravanan, Saro

This is the first volume of a series that will update the book OpenVMS AXP and Data Structures Version 1.5. This volume covers the new scheduling model in Open VMS Alpha Version 7.0, which includes executive support for multithreading. It also discusses the life of a process, from creation to deletion. The series is the most comprehensive and detailed description available of any commercial operating system. It is intended for systems programmers, technical consultants, application designers, and other computer professionals interested in learning the details of the OpenVMS Executive. Teachers and students of graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in operating systems will also find this series a valuable study in how theory and practise are resolved in a complex commercial operating system.

Dumas, Denise

OpenVMS Alpha Internals and Data Structures: Memory Management is an update to selected parts of the book OpenVMS AXP Internals and Data Structures Version 1.5 (Digital Press, 1994). This book covers the extensions to the memory management subsystem of OpenVMS Alpha to allow the operating system and applications to access 64 bits of address space. It emphasizes system data structures and their manipulation by paging and swapping routines and related system services. It also describes management of dynamic memory, such as nonpaged pool, and support for nonuniform memory access (NUMA) platforms. This book is intended for systems programmers, technical consultants, application designers, and other computer progressions interested in learning the details of the OpenVMS executive. Teachers and students of graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in operating systems will find this book a valuable study in how theory and practice are resolved in a complex commercial operating system.
