Attached Processor Systems
To produce an attached processor system it is necessary to reply"YES" when asked
AREYOU GENERATING AN AP SYSTEM?--RESPOND (YESINO) by the GENERATE or VMS ERV EXECs. A response of "YES" will cau se D MKRnA CNTRL and APLOAD (or APVRLOAD for a system with a virtual=real area) to

1, causing AP support to be included in the module you are assembling.
The DMKRnACNTRL file uses this MACLIB and creates a TXTAP rather than
the usualTEXT, if necessary; that is, the module is affected by
attached processor support.Modules Containing AP Support
To find the modules that have attached processor supportTXTAP decks,
use the following procedure:
1. List all modules from the Release 6 source tape that have a
filetype ofTXTAP. 2. List all modules from the system PUT that have a filetype of TX'TAP. 3. Combine the lists. You should then have a complete list of the TXTAP decks which include all modules containing AP support.
six modules have been created for AP support. The nucleus-resident
modules areDMKEXT, DMKIOK, and DMKMCT. The pageable modules are
DMKAPI,DMKCLK, and DMKCPU. These modules have only a TXTAP and their
names are contained only in the AP loadlists (APLOAD andAPVRLOAD). Part 1. Planning for System Generation 85
