Definitions
- a multiphase control program nucleus loading method reduces the amount of real storage required for initialization by dividing the initialization process into phases. Each phase operatng in sequence controls the loading of a different portion of the control program nucleus into real or virtual storage. Only those portions of the control program nucleus required for performing the initialization process at a given time are loaded into real storage. After a. function is completed, the obsoleted portion of the nucleus is overlaid with another portion of the nucleus which will perform a next series of functions which are required.

Abstract
A MULTIPHASE CONTROL PROGRAM NUCLEUS LOADING METHOD REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF REAL STORAGE REQUIRED FOR INITIALIZATION BY DIVIDING THE INITIALIZATION PROCESS INTO PHASES. EACH PHASE OPERATNG IN SEQUENCE CONTROLS THE LOADING OF A DIFFERENT PORTION OF THE CONTROL PROGRAM NUCLEUS INTO REAL OR VIRTUAL STORAGE. ONLY THOSE PORTIONS OF THE CONTROL PROGRAM NUCLEUS REQUIRED FOR PERFORMING THE INITIALIZATION PROCESS AT A GIVEN TIME ARE LOADED INTO REAL STORAGE. AFTER A FUNCTION IS COMPLETED, THE OBSOLETED PORTION OF THE NUCLEUS IS OVERLAID WITH ANOTHER PORTION OF THE NUC-
CLEUS WHICH WILL PERFORM A NEXT SERIES OF FUNCTIONS WHICH ARE REQUIRED. BY USING A TIME DIMENSIONAL SCATTER LOADING TECHNIQUE FOR LOADING PORTIONS OF THE CONTROL PROGRAM NUCLEUS ONLY WHEN THEY ARE REQUIRED FOR THEIR FUNCTION, THE AMOUNT OF REAL STORAGE REQUIRED FOR NUCLEUS INITIALIZATION IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED, AND PAGEABLE PORTIONS OF THE CONTROL PROGRAM NUCLEUS NOT REQUIRED FOR INITIALIZATION ARE LOADED DIRECTLY INTO VIRTUAL STORAGE.

PRIOR RT A multiphase control program nucleus loading method reduces the amount of real storage required for initialization by dividing the initialization process into phases. Each phase operatng in sequence controls the loading of a different portion of the control program nucleus into real or virtual storage. Only those portions of the control program nucleus required for performing the initialization process at a given time are loaded into real storage. After a. function is completed, the obsoleted portion of the nucleus is overlaid with another portion of the nucleus which will perform a next series of functions which are required. By using a time dimensional scatter loading technique for loading portions of the control program nucleus only when they are required for their function, the amount of real storage required for nucleus initialization is significantly reduced; and pageable portions of the control program nucleus not required for initialization are loaded directly into virtual storage.
