The Segment Based File Support System
Richard M. Kogut · 1973
This paper describes the Segment Based File Support System (SBFSS) which was designed and implemented by Robert g. Munck and the author, both of Brown University. SBFSS is an extension to IBM's CP-67/CMS virtual machine operating system for the IBM 360/67 computer. Its primary purpose is to allow CP to allocate more efficiently its direct access device (DASD) resources among a large number of users. Other advantages include improved response time, greater flexibility in sharing processors and data bases, and simple billing and back-up procedures.
