the compiler, built-in consistency checking within the

designers first examined the VMS file system to
determine what type of service-disk, file, or

determined that a file service would meet the goals,
they used a queuing network model to assess program
response time and throughput for users in a multiple
workstation environment. This model was used to assess
a number of design alternatives. The resulting
implementation is well integrated into the VMS
operating system and consists of device drivers and a

verification engineers developed a multipronged
approach for simulation modeling and functional design
verification. They also employed CPU diagnostic
programs, hand-generated tests, and directed
pseudo-random techniques to verify that the design
conformed to the VAX architecture. These techniques
helped them find bugs prior to committing the design to

implementation of a mainframe computer system. To be
competitive in this market, the power system for the
VAX 9000 series had to provide high system
availability. To meet this goal, the system includes
features neither considered nor found in previous large
Digital computer systems. Some of these features are
the use of redundancy in parts of the design and the
addition of more power system diagnosis capability for
quicker fault isolation and faulty unit replacement.
Other features provide competitive advantages in
specific marketplaces, such as meeting low harmonic
distortion for AC input current, which is an emerging
European AC power quality standard. Simulation tools,
which are used more prevalently in digital logic, were
used to improve the power design.",

The preprocessor implements a robust data dependence
analysis to determine whether a loop is inherently,
serial or parallel. In engineering a high-quality
optimizer, the designers specified the KAP software
architecture as a sequence of modular optimization
passes. These passes are designed to restructure the
program to resolve many of the apparent serializations
that are artifacts of coding in Fortran or C. End users
can also annotate their DEC Fortran or DEC C programs
with directives or pragmas to guide KAP's decision
process. As an alternative to using KAP's automatic

have to be followed, task assignment policies for the

therefore, must be specified locally. The Policy
Resolution Architecture (PRA) model provides more
generality and expressiveness than role models do and
at the same time supports the independent specification
of task assignment policies in different parts of an
enterprise. PRA can be used to model arbitrary
organization structures and to define realistic task

defined organizational policies. Thus, PRA provides
real-world organizations with a precise, simple means

of queues. The kernel-mode device driver is portable
across devices because it requires minimal knowledge of
the hardware. The overall design aims at easing
application programming while extracting real-time
performance from a non-real-time operating system. The

To maximize the performance of codecs and renderers,
issues pertaining to flow control, optimal use of

algorithmic, operating-system, and processor levels are
considered. The performance of these codecs on Alpha
systems is evaluated, and the ensuing results validate
the potential of software-only solutions. Finally, this

provide upward- compatible support for applications

guiding principle was that mixed pointer sizes are
likely to be the rule rather than the exception for
applications that use 64-bit address space. These
factors drove several key design decisions in the
OpenVMS Calling Standard and programming interfaces,
the DEC C language support, and the system services
support. For example, self-identifying 64-bit
descriptors were designed to ease development when
mixed pointer sizes are used. DEC C support makes it
easy to mix pointer sizes and to recompile for uniform
32- or 64-bit pointer sizes. OpenVMS system services
remain fully upward compatible, with new services
defined only where required or to enhance the usability
of the huge 64-bit address space. This paper describes
the approaches taken to support the mixed pointer size
environment in these areas. The issues and rationale
behind these OpenVMS and DEC C solutions are presented

enhanced C run-time library that allows application
programmers to allocate and utilize 64-bit virtual
memory from their C programs. This C run-time library
includes modified programming interfaces and additional
new interfaces yet ensures upward compatibility for
existing applications. The same run-time library
supports applications that use only 32- bit addresses,
only 64-bit addresses, or a combination of both. Source
code changes are not required to utilize 64-bit
addresses, although recompilation is necessary. The new
techniques used to analyze and modify the interfaces
are not specific to the C run-time library and can
serve as a guide for engineers who are enhancing their
programming interfaces to support 64-bit pointers.",

Digital has designed a software system, the TruCluster

network and can be used to implement a form of
distributed shared memory. Using this product, Digital
has built a low-level message- passing system that
reduces the communications latency in a MEMORY CHANNEL
cluster to less than 10 microseconds. This system can,
in turn, be used to easily build the communications
libraries that programmers use to parallelize
scientific codes. Digital has demonstrated the
successful use of this message-passing system by
developing implementations of two of the most popular
of these libraries, Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) and

DSRS was to provide an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use

use was a challenging engineering problem in user
interface design. Also challenging was the development
of the part of the interface that communicates with the
desktop and applications. DSRS designers had to solve
timing-induced problems associated with entering
keystrokes into applications at a rate much higher than
that at which people type. The DSRS project clarifies
the need to continue the development of improved speech
integration with applications as speech recognition and

computer restoration, historical systems are returned

substituting current parts for the original ones. In
computer simulation, historical systems are re-created
as software programs on current computer systems. In
each case, the operating environment of the original
system is presented to a modern user for inspection or
analysis. This differs with computer conservation,
which preserves historical systems in their current
state, usually one of disrepair. The authors argue that
an understanding of computing's past is vital to
understanding its future, and thus that restoration,
rather than just conservation, of historic systems is
an important activity for computer technologists.",
