A detailed treatment of the key architectural features of Alpha AXP systems.OpenVMS AXP Internals

and Data Structures

Ruth E. Goldenberg and

Saro Saravanan,

both of Digital Equipment Corporation

This outstanding new book describes the internals and data structures of the OpenVMS AXP operating

system Version 1.5 in vivid detail. Perhaps the most comprehensive and up-to-date description available for

a commercial operating system, it is an irreplaceable reference for operating system development engineers,

operating system troubleshooting experts, systems programmers, consultants and customer support

specialists.

Some of the text and much of the book's structure are derived from its highly successful predecessor,

VAX/VMS Internals and Data Structures: Version 5.2. The new work is divided into nine parts:

Introduction; Control Mechanisms; Synchronization; Scheduling and Time Support; Memory Management;

Input/Output; Life of a Process; Life of the System; and Miscellaneous Topics. Each of the 39 chapters is

akin to a case study on the topic it covers, based on the depth and breadth of treatment. Although the

descriptions are of the OpenVMS operating system for the Alpha AXP family of processors, the concepts

are equally applicable to the internals of any modern-day multiprocessing operating system running on a

RISC computer.

VAXcluster configuration exchange information with each other.

*       Covers interconnects, ports, and port drivers used to implement this communications architecture.

*       Deals with Digital Storage Architecture, and with controllers, storage devices, class drivers,

servers, and protocols that implement this storage architecture.

*       Explains storage options commonly used in a VAXcluster configuration.

*       Explains process and system level VAXcluster synchronization mechanisms.

*       Covers cluster wide process services, downline loading VMS systems, centralized system

management, disaster tolerance, and monitoring VAXcluster activity.

DIGITAL'S APPROACH TO OPEN SYSTEMS

James Martin,

Joe Leben, Leben, Inc.

NAS (Network Applications Support) is both a comprehensive architecture and set of software products

designed to provide a framework that makes it possible for applications developers to enhance those

characteristics of computing applications that promote interoperability, application distributability, and

application portability among applications that run on Digital's computing platforms as well as those from

other vendors, such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, SunMicrosystems, Apple Computer, and others.

For managers, executives, and information systems staff, NAS describes both types of NAS products - 1)

those that comprise a set of development toolkits that provide services directly to computing applications;

both Digital applications and user-written applications.  This important new class of software, called

middleware, operates as an intermediary between application programs and the underlying hardware/software

platform, and 2) those that build on the NAS middleware to provide services directly to the end users of

computing services.

A MODEL FOR DISTRIBUTED CAMPUS COMPUTING

George A. Champine, Digital Equipment Corporation

Project Athena at MIT has emerged as one of the most important models to date for next-generation

distributed computing in an academic environment, and this book is the first to describe this landmark

project.  Pioneered by MIT in partnership with Digital and IBM, Project Athena is distinguished by its

magnitude and its reliance on workstations, each providing the same user interface regardless of architecture,

and each sharing the same programs and data through a high-speed electronic network.  Based on thousands

of pages of reports and the author's own experience, this important book lets you in on the design,

implementation, and performance of Project Athena - now a production system of networked workstations

that is replacing time-sharing (which MIT also pioneered) as the preferred model of computing at MIT.  The

book is organized in four parts, covering management, pedagogy, technology, and administration.

Appendixes describe deployment of Project Athena systems at five other schools, provide guidelines for

installation, and recommend end-user policies.

PRODUCTION SOFTWARE THAT WORKS

a guide to the concurrent development of realtime manufacturing systems

John A. Behuniak and Iftikhar A. Ahmad,

Digital Equipment Corporation

Ann M. Courtright, CC&S Associates

This useful reference addresses the key tasks that are integral to realtime software development in

manufacturing plants: managing the design of the system, setting up and coordinating a development

organization, and implementing tools for successful completion and management. Whether you're a new or

experienced project manager, you'll discover useful advice and easy-to-follow procedures that help you cut

time and costs - and stay competitive.  You'll find out how to use concurrent methodologies to create

realtime systems in half the time it usually takes - resulting in systems that are more flexible, more

predictable, and far less costly than

systems developed sequentially.
