Openvms Alpha Internals And Data Structures

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. THE definitive reference describing how the OpenVMS kernel works Written by a top authority on OpenVMS systems Covers the latest version of OpenVMS

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 Alpha Internals: Scheduling and Process Control provides an update to selected parts of the book OpenVMS AXP Internals and Data Structures Version 1.5. (Digital Press 1994. This book covers the new scheduling model in OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.0, which include executive support for multithreading. It also discusses the life of a process, from creation to deletion. This book 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 find this book a valuable study in how theory and practice are resolved in a complex commercial operating system.

This third volume of an important series explains the VMS operating system support for Digital Equipment Corporation's recently announced 64-bit RISC architecture known as Alpha. An important source of information for computer professionals who need this detailed knowledge about the VMS operating system support of the Alpha architecture as early as it can be made available.

OpenVMS System Management Guide, Second Edition, the most complete book on the topic, details for system administrators the tools, technologies, and techniques by which they can configure, maintain, and tune computers running Hewlett-Packard's high-performance OpenVMS operating system. Revised by a topical authority and a principal OpenVMS engineer, the book enables system administrators to perform more efficiently and effectively those everyday tasks critical to an OpenVMS system. Examples have been updated to include OpenVMS/VAX 7.3 and OpenVMS/Alpha 7.3-1. OpenVMS administration best practices and utilities System management strategies that support business objectives Updated references to latest HP documents and other WWW resources New chapter summarizing software installation New appendix to help the hobbyist get started

Getting Started with OpenVMS System Management gives new VMS system managers a jumpstart in managing this powerful and reliable operating system. Dave Miller describes the essentials of what an OpenVMS System Manager will have to manage. He defines areas of OpenVMS System Management and describes why each is important and how it fits into the larger management task. Even though some OpenVMS management concepts are unique (for instance quotas), many concepts (such as account creation) have counterparts in UNIX and Windows NT. So, wherever possible, Miller points out to his readers the parallel to other systems. The book is intended as a precursor to Baldwin's OpenVMS System Management Guide and various OpenVMS documents. Thus it refers the reader to other books for the detailed management steps. Getting Started with OpenVMS System Management is a great introduction to the material Steve Hoffman and Dave Miller are revising for the OpenVMS System Management Guide, 2E. · Permits experienced system managers to begin managing OpenVMS more quickly · Dovetails with other Digital Press publications for easier reference by the OpenVMS manager · Points you in the right direction for the complete documentation on each issue · BONUS FEATURE! Includes excerpts from five key DP OpenVMS books
