It also makes references to MTS folklore having been initially built on top of Lincoln Labs "LLMPS". There was an OS/360 operators console application called ONLINE/OS that provided CMS-like interactive functionality. It was most frequently used with PCP ... but could also be used on MFT and MVT. CP67 had a function that could save a "virtual memory" image of a running virtual machine. This was used with CMS to get rapid startup. However, a technique was developed that could also "checkpoint" a virtual memory image of OS/360 ... at point when I/O had been quiesed ... allowing OS/360 "quick start" in a virtual machine (just restore the saved virtual memory image). This could be used in conjunction with restoring a saved image of OS/360 where ONLINE/OS had already been up and running. old posts mentioning online/os http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001i.html#34 IBM OS Timeline? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001n.html#45 Valid reference on lunar mission data being unreadable? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2004.html#48 AMD/Linux vs Intel/Microsoft http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2004d.html#33 someone looking to donate IBM magazines and stuff http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007b.html#50 Is anyone still running part of Melinda's paper has appendix mentioning ONLINE/OS was never released outside the company (although I had a copy of it at the university in the 60s, also much of the original work had been done by a person on assignment from Union Carbide) ref: E.C.
