TOPS-10
General comments about TOPS-10 The TOPS-10 System was a computer operating system from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for the PDP-10 released in 1964, the resulting systems being referred to as "DECsystem-10".TOPS-10 supported shareable memory and allowed the development of one of the first true multi-player computer games. The game was called DECWAR and was a text-oriented Star Trek type game. Users at terminals typed in commands and fought each other in real time. Another groundbreaking application was called FORUM. This application was perhaps the first so-called "CB simulator" that allowed users to converse with one another in what is now known as a chat room. This application showed the potential of multi-user communication and led to the development of CompuServe's chat application.
TOPS-10
TOPS-10 (Timesharing Operating System 10) war ein interaktives Multiuser-Betriebssystem der Firma Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) für die ebenfalls von DEC hergestellten PDP-6 und PDP-10-Rechner. Die erste Version von TOPS-10 war Version 1.4, die 1964 vorgestellt wurde. Seit der ab 1967 verfügbaren Version 2.18 unterstützte TOPS-10 auch die PDP-10. Mit der 1972 vorgestellten TOPS-10 Version 7.0 und höher konnten mehrere PDP-10-Rechner zu Symmetrischen Multiprozessorsystemen von bis zu 8 Rechnern zusammengeschlossen werden, die ununterbrochenen Betrieb trotz eventueller Hard- oder Softwareausfälle garantierten.

TOPS-10
TOPS-10是迪吉多電腦公司為其PDP-10迷你電腦所撰寫的作業系統,首次發表為1964年,軟硬體結合後的成果系統也稱為「DECsystem-10」。 TOPS-10支援可共享的記憶體,並且被用來開發第一套多人同時共樂的電腦遊戲程式(MUD),這一套遊戲叫DECWAR,是一種文字導向、星際奇航記(Star Trek)型態的遊戲,玩家在終端機前輸入文字命令並即時的相互戰鬥。 另一個具開創性的應用程式叫FORUM,這可能是第一個「CB 推演程式」,可以讓使用者透過電腦與另一個使用者對話,如同聊天室(chat room)一樣,這個應用程式展現了多方使用者通訊的潛在可能性,之後此電腦系統也讓CompuServe公司開發出聊天應用程式。
