PDOS
PDOS is an abbreviation that may refer to: * PDOS (operating system), a discontinued multiuser multitasking operating system * Permanent denial-of-service attack, a cyber attack overloading a service so badly that it requires replacement * Projected density of states In condensed matter physics, the density of states (DOS) of a system describes the number of allowed modes or quantum state, states per unit energy range. The density of states is defined as where N(E)\delta E is the number of states in the syste ...

PDOS (operating System)
PDOS is a discontinued multiuser multitasking operating system, written in assembly language developed in the early 1980s by the Eyring Research Institute for the Texas Instruments TMS9900 processor, and later ported to the Motorola 68000 The Motorola 68000 (sometimes shortened to Motorola 68k or m68k and usually pronounced "sixty-eight-thousand") is a 16/32-bit complex instruction set computer (CISC) microprocessor, introduced in 1979 by Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector ... processor. At the time its speed, accuracy and power made it ideal for process control. It was used in system development for education and industrial uses. Eyring also sold application programs (e.g. a statistics package) for the operating system. References Monolithic kernels 68k architecture {{Operating-system-stub ...

Permanent Denial-of-service Attack
In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is a cyberattack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to a network. Denial of service is typically accomplished by flooding the targeted machine or resource with superfluous requests in an attempt to overload systems and prevent some or all legitimate requests from being fulfilled. The range of attacks varies widely, spanning from inundating a server with millions of requests to slow its performance, overwhelming a server with a substantial amount of invalid data, to submitting requests with an illegitimate IP address. In a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack), the incoming traffic flooding the victim originates from many different sources. More sophisticated strategies are required to mitigate this type of attack; simply attempting to block a single source is insufficient a ...
