Abstract
The Real Time Operating System/360 (RTOS/360), a modified version of the standard IBM System/360 Operating System (OS/360), was developed by the Federal Systems Division (FSD) of IBM for support of the Real Time Computer Complex (RTCC) during NASA's Apollo spaceflights. RTOS/360 is a real time, multi-tasking, multi-jobbing operating system that extends the basic features of OS/360 and adds additional features to:
• Process real time data
• Provide simplicity of use for the applications programmer
• Ensure fast response system activity (requirements range from one-tenth of a second to one second)
• Improve efficiency
• Provide support for special devices not supported by OS/360
• Provide a fail-safe system
• Increase job shop throughput
