DEC OSF/1 Operating System V3.0

HIGHLIGHTS

o  Delivers significant new commercial functionality, including symmetrical
   multiprocessing (SMP), loadable drivers, and dataless model

o  Support provided for multiprocessor platforms

o  Supports a large number of incoming connections from servers located on a
   network

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Users need an open, standards compliant UNIX operating system providing a
cost-effective way to add processing power as computing demands grow.
Because adding a CPU is far more cost-effective than purchasing a complete
new system, users desiring this scalability are demanding symmetric
multiprocessing (SMP) support from computer vendors. DEC OSF/1 V3.0 meets
this requirement for cost-effective scalability via support of symmetric
multiprocessing.

DEC OSF/1 V3.0 also meets the requirement for loadable driver support that
lets users add drivers themselves without taking their system offline.
(Supported buses are TC, PCI, and EISA.)

Key features of the V3.0 release include:

o  Symmetric multiprocessing -- The DEC OSF/1 V3.0 support for SMP allows
   multiple threads, from the same or different tasks, to run concurrently
   on different processors. From a hardware perspective, supported SMP
   machines are those that all have multiple CPUs and access to all shared
   main memory but may or may not share the same I/O.

   DEC OSF/1 V3.0 is qualified on six CPUs with no architecture limits. It
   provides a robust SMP implementation without impacting the performance on
   a non-SMP system. Processor affinity, the ability to tie a process to a
   processor, also is supported in V3.0.

o  Hardware support -- The following multiprocessor platforms are supported
   in this release: Digital 2100 Server Models A500MP and A600MP; DEC 4000
   Models 620, 720, and 721; DEC 7000 Models 610; and DEC 10000
   Model 610.

o  Network File System (NFS V3) -- An NFS V3 server and client protocol
   implementation is provided in addition to V2. NFS V3 includes 64 bit
   support for file access, exclusive create semantics, negotiable transfer
   sizes, safe asynchronous writes, and added support for access checking.

o  Streams based local area transport (LAT) -- This implementation is based
   on V5.2 of the LAT specification, consisting of code provided by Meridian
   Technology Corporation. The following features are supported:
   - Driver optimized for SMP.
   - Changes to support the System V R4 tty naming scheme.
   - Support for 1500 incoming sessions.
   - LAT connections supported over Ethernet, IEEE 802.3, and FDDI.

o  Dataless model -- V3.0 provides users with a low cost, entry level,
   easy-to-manage local area network system configuration, via support of a
   dataless model. A dataless model is defined as a configuration having a
   minimum of one disk, which is used for dumping, paging, and swapping.

o  Runtime libraries -- The FORTRAN, Pascal, COBOL, and C++ runtime
   libraries ship with the DEC OSF/1 operating system today. The DEC Ada
   runtime library is included in V3.0, completing the necessary portfolio
   of compiler runtime libraries.
