Re: OS/400 topics

Read the manuals. That's the first step in any homework assignment.

Hello, I'm looking for technical data on the OS/400.

I would like to know how does it compare to mainstream OS, if it is a
batch processing system or interactive, and a little bit about his heritage.

Some of the information that I need deals with the Name and type of
Kernel, Process Scheduling, Scheduling Algorithms and Policies (Pre-emptive,
Non Pre-emptive), Critical Sections, Mutex and Semaphores, Managing Tasks
and how they are applied into OS/400. It is a real challenge to find
information on these topics. I only know that QJOBSCD is the Job Scheduler.

I have already e-mailed IBM and received an uncomplete answer. I know it
is very difficult (almost impossible) to have some of this information.
However, it would be very appreciated if you can at least answer one of
these questions, or refer me to someone who knows about it. You are one of
my last hopes.

Thanks very much to anyone that answers,

N. Wong
