180-CLASS MAINFRAMES
Some of the CYBER 170 Computer Systems share many of the functional and architectural
attributes of the CYBER 180 Computer Systems. Specifically, CYBER 170 Models 815, 825, 835, 845, and 855 fall into this category. It is sometimes convenient to refer to the CYBER 180 models and these CYBER 170 models collectively. This manual uses the term 180-class
m ai nf r a mes t o r e f er t o t h i s co l lectio n .
EXTENDED MEMORY
Extended memory for the CYBER 180-class machines and models 865 and 875 is unified extended memory (UEM) and may also include extended core storage (ECS), extended semiconductor memory
(ESM), or STORNET. Extended memory for model 176 is large central memory extended (LCME) and may include ECS, ESM, or STORNET. Extended memory for all other NOS computer systems is either ECS, ESM, or STORNET.
In this manual, ECS refers to ECS, ESM, and STORNET. Extended memory refers to all forms of extended memory unless otherwise noted. However, when referencing extended memory in the context of an ECS multimainframe complex, distributive data path (DDP), or low-speed port (LSP) access, UEM and LCME are excluded. ECS, ESM, and STORNET are the only forms of extended memory that can be shared in ECS multimainframe complex and can be accessed by a DDP or LSP. For CYBER 180-class machines, only UEM may be accessed directly from CPU programs as extended field length; similarly, on the model 176, only LCME may be accessed directly from CPU programs. The other forms of extended memory are supported only as mass storage devices on these machines.
Programming information for the various forms of extended memory can be found in the COMPASS Version 3 Reference Manual and in the appropriate computer system hardware reference manual.

CYBER 70 COMPUTER SYSTEMS REFERENCES
References to the CYBER 70 Computer Systems pertain only to models 71, 72, 73, and 74.
CONTROL STATEMENT
The manuals of many NOS products use the term control statement instead of the term command, This manual uses the term command almost exclusively. You can consider the two synonymous.
EXAMPLES
The following conventions apply to examples that appear in this manual:
• Examples of actual terminal sessions that appear in this manual were produced on a display terminal in NORMAL character mode unless otherwise specified. Uppercase characters represent terminal output; lowercase characters represent user input unless otherwise noted. (However, user input that is displayed within the text of this manual is shown in uppercase characters). The vertical spacing in examples does not necessarily coincide with the spacing that appears on your terminal.
• Program examples are written either in FORTRAN 5 or BASIC 3 (hereafter referred to as just BASIC).
• This manual uses commas to delimit command parameters and periods to terminate commands. For clarity, however, commands that appear in text use an opening p a r e n t h e s i s f o r t h e i r i n i t i a l d e l i m i t e r a n d a c l o s i n g p a r e n t h e s i s f o r t h e i r t e r m i n a t o r.
COMMAND FORMAT
Interpret uppercase characters within command formats literally. Lowercase characters are variables and are described immediately following the line that shows the command format.
SPECIAL KEYBOARD ENTRIES
This manual uses special notation to represent certain keyboard entries:
• @ denotes the message transmission key on the keyboard. Depending on the terminal class, this key may be the RETURN, CR, CARRIAGE RETURN, NEW LINE, SEND, or ETX key.
For some terminal classes, the RETURN or NEW LINE key also denotes a message terminator, but the message is kept in the terminal buffer until the corresponding SEND or ETX key is pressed, sending all messages in the buffer to IAF. Appendix K supplies more information. IAF and the network respond to the @) by positioning the c a r r i a g e t o t h e fi r s t c h a r a c t e r p o s i t i o n o n t h e n e x t l i n e .
• - — d e s i g n a t e s t h e b a c k s p a c e c h a r a c t e r.
• The notation CTRL/x directs you to press the control key (which is labeled CTRL, CNTL, CNTRL, or similar characters) on the terminal and, while holding this key down, press the key specified by x. For example, CTRL/H means press and hold the control key while you press the H key.

J$P"v
NOS is capable of several concurrent processing modes. The following are the processing modes available.
• L o c a l b a t c h .
• R e m o t e b a t c h .
• T r a n s a c t i o n .
• I n t e r a c t i v e .
The network processing modes (remote batch, transaction, and interactive) operate through the Network Access Method (NAM) communications software. These processing modes are
implemented, respectively, by the following NAM applications: Remote Batch Facility (RBF), Tr a n s a c t i o n F a c i l i t y ( TA F ) , a n d I n t e r a c t i v e F a c i l i t y ( I A F ) .
The primary emphasis of this manual is interactive and local batch processing. For the other processing modes, consult the appropriate manuals listed in the preface.
NOS, like all operating systems, is the interface between you and the capabilities of system hardware components. The remainder of this section describes the hardware and software that make up a NOS-controlled computer system. In most cases, you need not understand the
operation of system hardware or the internal operation of system software. This manual describes these topics only as general background for understanding NOS commands.
SYSTEM HARDWARE
NOS can operate within the CYBER 180, CYBER 170, CYBER 70, and 6000 Computer Systems (refer to the preface for an exhaustive list of model numbers). The primary hardware components of each system are the following.
C e n t r a l p r o c e s s o r u n i t ( s ) . Central memory.
Extended memory (optional).

CENTRAL PROCESSOR UNIT
The central processor unit (CPU) executes instructions and manipulates and stores data retrieved from central memory. The number and type of CPUs within a mainframe vary with the machine model. As a result, some models can execute additional instructions. These model differences do not affect applications written in higher level languages.
CENTRAL MEMORY
The primary functions of central memory (CM) are:
• To buffer data to and from the peripheral processors.
• T o t r a n s f e r i n s t r u c t i o n s a n d d a t a t o a n d f r o m t h e C P U . 1
Job Field Length
The job field length is the portion of central memory that is assigned to your job. Several jobs can reside in CM simultaneously. Each job is assigned a starting CM address (its reference address or RA) and is allocated an initial field length (the CM words in which the job resides and executes). The field length is adjusted during job execution as described in section 3. Figure 1-1 shows a job field length within CM.
A reference to an address outside the job's field length range causes a hardware error condition and job termination.
The maximum field length depends on the CM size and installation parameters used to control memory usage. The system assigns the CPU to jobs requiring CPU activity. Rapid switching of CPU control between jobs enables them to execute concurrently. The exact amount of time allowed for each job depends on system activity and system parameter settings. Thus, the time required to complete a job may vary from run to run, although the actual CPU execution time is similar.
When a job completes, aborts, or rolls out (that is, its execution is suspended), the field ^-^^s l e n g t h i s r e l e a s e d , c l e a r e d , a n d m a d e a v a i l a b l e t o a n o t h e r j o b . /

Central Memory ResidentThe portion of CM reserved for system use is called central memory resident (CMR). It contains system tables, directories, and the CM portion of the system monitor (CPUMTR).

EXTENDED MEMORY
Extended memory for NOS computer systems (refer to preface), can be used for the following purposes.
• As a directly accessible memory device via FORTRAN or COMPASS statements for
extended memory data storage and retrieval (refer to the FORTRAN 5 Reference Manual or appendix D of Volume 4, Program Interface).
• As storage for frequently accessed small files (refer to ASSIGN command in section 7 and Permanent File Commands in section 9).
• A s a n a l t e r n a t e s y s t e m d e v i c e f o r s t o r i n g c o p i e s o f f r e q u e n t l y u s e d r o u t i n e s .
• As a link between mainframes in a multimainframe configuration.t
You must be authorized to use extended memory (refer to LIMITS command in section 7).
