Abstract

A high speed mechanism for process exchange is essential in a time sharing system based on the use of many processes. The automated process exchange mechanism on the Model P400 and the 50 Series of PR1ME machines is described. Typical timing for operations using the process exchange mechanism on the P750 is given. Its use in PRIMOS is explained and validated.
