“My first operating system project was to build a real-time system called RSX-11M that ran on Digital's PDP-11 16-bit series of minicomputers. ... a multitasking operating system that would run in 32 KB of memory with a hierarchical file system, application swapping, real-time scheduling, and a set of development utilities. The operating system and utilities were to run on the entire line of PDP-11 platforms, from the very small systems up through the PDP-11/70 which had memory-mapping hardware and supported up to 4 MB of memory.” FirstsRealRunningBitsLinesMemoriesDevelopmentProjectsSeriesRanDigitalApplicationPlatformsFilesUtilityHardwareMultitaskingOperating SystemsMappingSchedulingSwapping Author:Dave Cutler
