RSX-11

RSX-11 is a family of real-time operating systems mainly for PDP-11 computers created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), common in the late 1970s and early 1980s. RSX-11D first appeared on the PDP-11/40 in 1972. It was designed for and much used in process control, but was also popular for program development.

Team

Henry Krejci was the project leader for RSX-11D. Although Garth Wolfendale did work on IAS, he was not the project leader in the US.

Ron McLean was the project leader for RSX-20F/RSX10F a version of RSX11-D not RSX11-M as many suspected. This was a PDP10 front end.

Garth Wolfendale was the project leader for RSX-11D from 1972–1976 and led the redesign and commercial release of the operating system as well as adding support for the 22-bit PDP-11/70 system. Dr. Wolfendale, originally from the U.K., set up the team that designed and prototyped IAS in the U.K., providing time-shared user access to operating system resources. Andy Wilson then led the full development and release of the IAS system, based in Digital's U.K. development facility.
