re: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010k.html#41 look at the SGML reference here (mentions the last names): http://agman.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=20 more history here (also mentions last names): http://www.sgmlsource.com/history/roots.htm another one http://www.sgmlsource.com/history/jasis.htm wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_language for some reason, I've got a "blue card" that is stamped with "M" name (remember when people had custom stamps with ink pads ... they could put their names on books and other things). "blue card" is similar to "green card" but lots of stuff specific to 360/67. for whatever reason both "G" and "L" transferred out to the west coast in the time-frame that I did. misc. past posts mentioning gml http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#sgml as an aside ... the name for the compare&swap instruction was chosen because CAS are charlie's initial ... invented by charlie at the science center ... working on cp67 fine-grain smp locking. initial attempt at including CAS in 370 was rebuffed because the POK favorite son operating system people claimed that T&S (from 360) was more than sufficient. guys that owned the architecture ... provided challenge that to get CAS into 370 architecture required coming up with a use that wasn't SMP specific ... thus was born the programming notes regarding CAS for multithreaded/multiprogramming use ... that still shows up in current principles of operation. misc. past posts mentioning SMP &/or CAS http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#smp -- 42yrs virtualization experience (since Jan68), online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
