Description
PRODUCT NAME:

RSX-11 M, Version 4.2
Real-Time Operating System

DESCRIPTION
RSX· 11 M is a disk-based, real-time operating system that
runs on any UNIBUS PDP-11 processor and on most O·
BUS PDP-11 and MicroPDP-11 processors. It provides an
environment for the development and execution of multiple
real-time tasks (program images) using a priority:struc·
tured, event-driven scheduler. System generation on
either a host PDP· 11 or VAX processor allows the user to
tailor the software for systems ranging in size from small
32K·byte systems to large 3840K-byte systems.
Program development and real-time tasks can execute
concurrently in systems with at least 48K bytes of memory.
The system's software priority levels enable the use~ to
compile'assemble, debug. install. and execute tasks with·
- out affecting real-time task response.
A multiuser program-development facility is available for
systems with a recommended minimum of 64K bytes of
memory. LOGIN'LOGOUT, password protection, device
access protection, a round-robin scheduler (running .under
the real-time Executive), and concurrent execution of
equal priority tasks via Executive-level swapping are provided. All systems have the MCA command interface.
Mapped systems can select the easier-to-use DIGITAL
Command Language (DCL). with MCA or DCL selectable
on a per-terminal basis.
Tasks can be written in MACR0-11 assembly language. or
in optionally available high-level languages including
BASIC·PLUS-2, COBOL-81, FORTRAN-77. and
PASCAL. Shareable libraries and system support for usercreated libraries are provided. The EDT and EDI editors.
program development utilities, a symbol cross-reference
processor, an interactive debugg~r. and task memory
dump facilities are provided to assist task development
and checkout.
The RSX-11 M file system provides automatic space .allocation and file structures for all block-structured devices.
Features include file protection. device independenc.e, and
logical device assignment. Multiheader. fil~ support 1s provided, which enables file size to be limited only by the
capacity of the volume on which it resides. During system
generation. the user can select a minimum 4K-byte version
of the resident file system to conserve space.

SPD 14.35.24

Two file access facilities are available: Record Manage·
ment Services (RMS-11) and File Control Services (FCS).
RMS-11 supports three file organizations.- sequential. relative, and multikeyed indexed sequential (ISAM) - and
provides sequential and direct acce_ss modes. FCS supports sequential and direct acces~ to sequent1~lly and randomly organized files. RMS requires at least:~K bytes per
task. Using FCS will increase the user task.,.by approximately 2K to SK bytes. depending on the number of open
files and the services desired.
,
Indirect command file support provides extremely powerful
batch-like facilities. A user can create a file containing system commands. The system can then be instr.1.Jcted to execute the commands in the files without user:)ntervent1on
The Indirect Command Processor can be executing command files concurrent with real-time task execution.
Most PDP-11 processors have Memory Management
available, which provides logical to physical memory ma~·
ping. If the configuration does not include hardware memory management. the system can support between 32K
and 56K bytes of memory. If the configuration includes
hardware memory management, RSX-11M can support
between 56K and 3840K bytes of memory. RSX-11M pro·
vides the same primary services in mapped and unmapped systems: however. some supplied optional.features
and separately-licensed software opti_ons require hardware configurations larger than the minimum supported
systems.
Memory is logically divided· into partitions in which tasks
are loaded and executed. Activity in a part1t1on can either
be user-controlled or system-controlled; the user determines the placement of tasks in the former and the system
controls the placement of tasks in the latter. Automatic
memory compaction minimizes fragmentation of a systemcontrolled partition. Unmapped systems support only usercontrolled partitions. Mapped systems support both user.controlled and system-controlled partitions.
Real-time interrupt response is provided by the syst_em s
task scheduler. which recognizes 250 software priority
levels. The user-specified task priority determines. the
task's eligibility to execute. A task can be fixed in a part1t1on
to ensure immediate execution when it is activated or 1t can

reside on disk while it is dormant to make memory available to other tasks. Task checkpointing enables tasks to be
displaced from a partition to enable a higher priority, nonresident task to execute.

performance and or capacity of the TK50 should
be expected.

experienced when the DLVJ1 is configured with an AODX1
or additional DLVJ1 modules. Similarly, only one AODX1 is
supported per system.
