| Type: | Multi-tasking, multi-user, virtual memory |
|---|---|
| Creator: | DEC |
| Architecture: | PDP-10 |
| This Version: | 7.04 |
TOPS-10 was DEC's operating system for the early PDP-10 computers. It was descended from the 'Monitor' OS used on the PDP-6. It provided both batch processing and time-sharing capabilities.
TOPS-10 allowed programs to be separated into data and object code segments; the latter could be shared by all processes running that program. Once support for virtual memory was added to the hardware (in the KI10), TOPS-10 added support for that.
How to get this running
TOPS-10 can run under emulation in SIMH and KLH10.
