1. 5 4 Actual Time Schedule The first check point on the time schedule concerned the final decisions on extensions They were delayed 6 weeks due to disagreements between the user groups The extensions chosen were vdu terminals card reader job controlled selection of print forms printer back up on magnetic tape According to the project specification this should delay the installation by three months of which 6 weeks were due to the delay of the decision The next check point was apparently reached on schedule with release of the report Boss 2 Internal Structure dated January 1971 However a close read ing of the report reveals many missing details in the interface between the coroutines The report contained a detailed version of Sections 2 3 and 4 of this paper In March and April 1971 the company changed their development policy claiming that they would neglect somehow the RC 4000 and try to find other areas for the development groups The Boss 2 group was heavily involved in these discussions and a delay of one month was accepted The new schedule looked like this May 1971 Debugged Central Logic All other parts punched September 1971 Prototype debugged November 1971 Installation completed The Central Logic was debugged on schedule but most other parts were still not written A lot of detailed revisions of the schedule were made but none of them reflected reality Several parts were completed and de bu

4. updates variables common to several processes or coroutines If a certain relation is to be maintained between the common variables one process must complete the critical region before another process can enter a critical region working on the same variables A sound solution is to use a queue with one record which contains the common variables When a process wants to update the variables it gets the record by means of waitg After the updating it returns the record to the same queue by means of sigq If other processes want to update the variables meanwhile they will be suspended when executing waitq Because only one record is involved its address may be known to all processes and a simple semaphore may replace the queue semaphore This was the solu tion described by Dijkstra and it is also used in Boss The corresponding locking semaphores are shown in Figure 3 as waved arrows The special coroutine scheduling of cpu time allows a simpler handling of critical regions in many cases the Central Logic can only pass control to another coroutine when a coroutine explicitly waits As a result critical regions without embedded waiting can be handled without semaphores This simplifies program ming in many cases for instance in the printer case of the preceding section 2 5 Private Buffers and Messages A special case of multi buffer communication is frequently used Each sender of a request has his own record and he wants the ans

33. nication principle corresponds to the beautiful symmetrical producer consumer algorithm of Dijkstra the ps job consumes free records and produces requests The ps printer consumes requests and produces free records The principle can also be thought of as a generalization of the conventional double buffer scheme to multi buffers A record cor responds to a buffer In Figure 3 4 double arrows show such multi buffer communication based on queue semaphores The arrow shows the direction of the re quest 381 2 3 Simple Semaphores Simple semaphores were introduced by Dijkstra 5 6 They resemble queue semaphores but the queue is not represented explicitly Only a count of the records in an abstract queue is kept track of Thus simple semaphores can be used to implement queues where the records are linked in a user defined manner or where the record does not contain essential information Simple semaphores are handled by the following two procedures of the Central Logic wait semaphore sig semaphore It is assumed that coroutines follow the discipline of handling a semaphore either with waitq sigg exclusively or with wait sig As an example consider the handling of output from a job to the terminal Each request consists of one word to be printed 3 characters and an ordinary queue would be too cumbersome Instead the ps job and the termout agree to use a backing store area in a cyclical manner Two simple sema

36. os sible cause for this pointed out by Peter Naur is that we initially compared the project to an Algol compiler which used a very advanced table technique to bring down the program length 17 A similar technique was not used in Boss possibly because we concentrated too much on the structuring into coroutines and forgot to design the sequential algorithms inside each coroutine in the same careful manner Another cause may be that each facility and strategy were conceived and imple mented individually whereas an Algol compiler bene fits from the extremely homogeneous structure of Algol 60 A secondary reason for the underestimate was the interface to the Monitor The Monitor was extended in the same period with several facilities needed by Boss Especially the interface concerning drum and disks was much more complicated to utilize than anticipated This problem was felt severely during the development and caused major revisions of Boss and the Monitor A minor contribution to the underestimate is the late inclusion of further extensions and related projects user catalog updating accounting process control etc A main fault in the project management the author primarily was the sticking to a time schedule instead of revising the more fundamental estimate of the number of instructions It is typical that the main influence of the underestimate is in the programming phase The debug phase and the installation phase were not so si
