Advanced function extended with tightly-coupled multiprocessing
Ron MacKinnon · IBM Systems Journal · 1974
This paper has described hardware extensions to System/370 to provide multiprocessing. While the emphasis is upon tightly-coupled implementation through MP hardware and o s l v s 2 Release 2, the characteristics of loosely-coupled systems have been sketched out for contrasTt.h e comparison of IBM multiprocessors has been included to provide a rationale for thee volution of System/370 multiprocessing architecture with significant differences from and improvements upon prior System/360 implementation.
