A detailed treatment of the key architectural features of Alpha AXP systems.OpenVMS AXP Internals 
and Data Structures

Ruth E. Goldenberg and 
Saro Saravanan, 
both of Digital Equipment Corporation

This outstanding new book describes the internals and data structures of the OpenVMS AXP operating system Version 1.5 in vivid detail. Perhaps the most comprehensive and up-to-date description available for a commercial operating system, it is an irreplaceable reference for operating system development engineers, operating system troubleshooting experts, systems programmers, consultants and customer support specialists.

Some of the text and much of the book’s structure are derived from its highly successful predecessor, VAX/VMS Internals and Data Structures: Version 5.2. The new work is divided into nine parts: Introduction; Control Mechanisms; Synchronization; Scheduling and Time Support; Memory Management; Input/Output; Life of a Process; Life of the System; and Miscellaneous Topics. Each of the 39 chapters is akin to a case study on the topic it covers, based on the depth and breadth of treatment. Although the descriptions are of the OpenVMS operating system for the Alpha AXP family of processors, the concepts are equally applicable to the internals of any modern-day multiprocessing operating system running on a RISC computer.

NAS
DIGITAL'S APPROACH TO OPEN SYSTEMS
James Martin, 
James Martin Associates 
Joe Leben, Leben, Inc.

NAS (Network Applications Support) is both a comprehensive architecture and set of software products designed to provide a framework that makes it possible for applications developers to enhance those characteristics of computing applications that promote interoperability, application distributability, and application portability among applications that run on Digital's computing platforms as well as those from other vendors, such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, SunMicrosystems, Apple Computer, and others.
For managers, executives, and information systems staff, NAS describes both types of NAS products — 1) those that comprise a set of development toolkits that provide services directly to computing applications; both Digital applications and user-written applications.  This important new class of software, called middleware, operates as an intermediary between application programs and the underlying hardware/software platform, and 2) those that build on the NAS middleware to provide services directly to the end users of computing services.

A hands-on account of the design, implementation, and performance of Project Athena.

MIT PROJECT ATHENA
A MODEL FOR DISTRIBUTED CAMPUS COMPUTING
George A. Champine, Digital Equipment Corporation

Project Athena at MIT has emerged as one of the most important models to date for next-generation distributed computing in an academic environment, and this book is the first to describe this landmark project.  Pioneered by MIT in partnership with Digital and IBM, Project Athena is distinguished by its magnitude and its reliance on workstations, each providing the same user interface regardless of architecture, and each sharing the same programs and data through a high-speed electronic network.  Based on thousands of pages of reports and the author’s own experience, this important book lets you in on the design, implementation, and performance of Project Athena — now a production system of networked workstations that is replacing time-sharing (which MIT also pioneered) as the preferred model of computing at MIT.  The book is organized in four parts, covering management, pedagogy, technology, and administration.  Appendixes describe deployment of Project Athena systems at five other schools, provide guidelines for installation, and recommend end-user policies.
