The Eclipse MV/8000 was the first in a family of
16-bit Eclipse series. The development of the computer and the people who worked on it were the subject of Tracy Kidder's book The Soul of a New Machine. The MV/8000 was succeeded by the MV/6000, MV/8000-II, MV/2000, MV/2500, MV/4000, MV/10000, MV15000, MV/20000, MV/30000 and MV/40000. Later models such as the MV/40000 were SMP systems with hot-swappable components.[1]
The Eclipse MV was a 32-bit
CISC architecture with a 4 GB address space. The 4 GB address space was divided into eight rings
of 512 MB each with a privilege mechanism mapped onto the rings. The outermost ring, ring-7, was the least privileged. The inner-most ring, ring-0, was the most privileged.
The
log off. The MV/8000 had only two "true" batch processes, as not to frustrate the online processes. The "plus" of the online batches was that they ran with the same priority as the normal online processes.[1]
