RSX-11M Multiprocessing Software

This document provides the functional design specification for the RSX-11M Multiprocessing (RSX-11mP) software. It outlines objectives such as increased hardware availability through redundant units, improved performance via parallel task execution, and enhanced maintainability. The document covers support for the PDP-11/70 hardware, including cache management, memory partitioning, interprocessor communication, and error logging enhancements. It details necessary modifications to the Executive, task-CPU and task-bus affinity, and reconfiguration facilities. The manual also includes definitions of multiprocessing concepts and configuration procedures for both online and offline maintenance environments.
