Converting NSW (National Software Works) from MVT (Multiprogramming with a Variable Number of Tasks) to MVS (Multiple Virtual Spaces)

摘要

The primary goal of the National Software Works (NSW) project at UCLA is to make the IBM System/360 and System/370 family of computing systems tool -bearing hosts within the NSW. Previous phases of the project have made the UCLA implementation of the (now obsolete) operating system OS/MVT an NSW tool-bearing host. This phase of the project is to make the current IBM operating system, OS/MVS, a tool-bearing host. This report is primarily concerned with the conversion of existing software from the MVT environment to the MVS environment. The subsequent sections correspond to documents stored in the NSW documentation repository maintained by the NSW Operations Contractor, so each section has been made self-contained. For example, each section has its own reference summary and appendices.
