I had done a lot of virtual memory (internal) enhancements on cp-67 and moved them over to vm-370 (again internal). some of those enhancements were eventually picked up and shipped in the product ... like a small subset of the stuff around what they called DCSS. It did also included a "paged mapped" filesystem infrastructure for CMS ... which would have greatly enhanced the sharing and caching of CMS information. misc. collected posts discussion page mapped stuff

the pagged map transition apparently was to great of a paradigm change (although I had done quite a bit of work on providing compatible semantics for existing operation) ... and never shipped. given the full page mapped semantics, sharing and caching of all cms stuff becomes trivially straight-forward.

ref: part of the caching-electronic store discussions that on in the 70s had to do with...

CMS was otherwise a significantly file intensive infrastructure (especially by pc standards) which was only partially mitigated by things like placing small amounts of high-use CMS stuff in (DCSS) shared segments.

This became extremely painfully apparent with XT-370 ... in was single user operation in ibm-pc frame with all vm and cms stuff mapped to standard ibm-xt 110ms (access) disks. None of the sharing stuff held any benefit ... since you were the only one on the system (and the available storage was also painfully limited by mainframe standards).

some past discussion of xt-370
