    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHARE_Operating_System

    It is an improvement on the General Motors GM-NAA I/O operating system, the first operating system for the IBM 704. The main objective was to improve the sharing of programs. The SHARE Operating System provided new methods to manage buffers and input/output devices. Like GM-NAA I/O, it allowed execution of programs written in assembly language.

  4. Pintos - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pintos

    Like Nachos, Pintos is intended to introduce undergraduates to concepts in operating system design and implementation by requiring them to implement significant portions of a real operating system, including thread and memory management and file system access. Pintos also teaches students valuable debugging skills.

  8. Gang scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_scheduling

    In computer science, gang scheduling is a scheduling algorithm for parallel systems that schedules related threads or processes to run simultaneously on different processors. Usually these will be threads all belonging to the same process, but they may also be from different processes, where the processes could have a producer-consumer ...

  9. CP/M-86 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M-86

    CP/M-86 was one of three operating systems available from IBM, with PC DOS and UCSD p-System. [5] Digital Research's adaptation of CP/M-86 for the IBM PC was released six months after PC DOS in spring 1982, and porting applications from CP/M-80 to either operating system was about equally difficult.
