A multiprogrammed operating system for nuclear physics data acquisition

A multiprogrammed operating system for nuclear physics data acquisition has been developed as part of a Yale/IBM Joint Study. The system supports multiple users in a fully protected environment. Features of the system include dynamic storage allocation, a fully re-entrant supervisor, language and device independence, dynamic priorities, virtual device utilities, and extensive inter-task communication facilities. An application example is presented. Copyright © 1968 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
