other trivia from ibm jargon: MVM - n. Multiple Virtual Memory. The original name for MVS (q.v.), which fell foul of the fashion of changing memory to storage.
MVS - n. Multiple Virtual Storage, an alternate name for OS/VS2 (Release 2), and hence a direct descendent of OS. OS/VS2 (Release 1) was in fact the last release of OS MVT, to which paging had been added; it was known by some as SVS (Single Virtual Storage). MVS is one of the big two operating systems for System/370 computers (the other being VM (q.v.)). n. Man Versus System. ... snip ... as part of the "Man Versus System" theme ... it had become significantly much easier to work out lots of computer concepts and design on vm370/cms ... and then later port the implementation to MVS ... than trying to start on an MVS base. some time ago, I got a request about the history of adding virtual memory to all 370s ... old post with exchange from IBMer involved (who recently passed) with references of os/v2, future systems, hasp/asp, etc http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011d.html#73 other parts of the thread http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011d.html#71 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011d.html#72 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011d.html#74 -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
