MOS Simulator: Multiprogramming OS Implementation

This document describes an experiment to implement a basic multiprogramming operating system. The system loads and runs programs one at a time without true multiprogramming. It uses an interrupt-driven supervisor to handle system calls for reading, writing, and terminating programs. The supervisor and program execution are controlled using registers like the instruction counter, general purpose registers, and a toggle to indicate the system call number.

Experiment No: 1

Title: Implementation of a multiprogramming operating system

Problem Statement: Stage I:


i. CPU/ Machine Simulation
ii. Supervisor Call through interrupt
Description:
Assumption:
 Jobs entered without error in input file
 No physical separation between jobs
 Job outputs separated in output file by 2 blank lines
 Program loaded in memory starting at location 00
 No multiprogramming, load and run one program at a time
 SI interrupt for service request

Notation:
M: memory; IR: Instruction Register (4 bytes)
IR [1, 2]: Bytes 1, 2 of IR/Operation Code
IR [3, 4]: Bytes 3, 4 of IR/Operand Address
M[&]: Content of memory location &
IC: Instruction Counter Register (2 bytes)
R: General Purpose Register (4 bytes)
C: Toggle (1 byte)
: Loaded/stored/placed into

MOS (MASTER MODE)


SI = 3 (Initialization)
Case SI of
1: Read
2: Write
3: Terminate
Endcase

READ:
IR [4]  0
Read next (data) card from input file in memory locations IR [3,4] through IR [3,4] +9
If M [IR [3,4]] = $END, abort (out-of-data)

Loop
IR  M [IC]
