CTSS Technical Notes

Abstract

This report is a technical description of the 7094 Compatible Time-Sharing System in use at Project MAC and the M.I.T. Computation Center. It is designed to acquaint a system programmer with the techniques of construction which were used in this particular time-sharing system. Separate chapters discuss the overall supervisor program flow: console message input and output: the scheduling and storage algorithms: and a thumbnail sketch is given of each of the subroutines which make up the supervisor program. This report was prepared with the aid of the compatible time-sharing system and the TYPSET and RUNOFF commands.
