| Popis: |
In the CHORUS/MiX 1 distributed operating system architecture the microkernel provides system servers with generic services which are independent of a particular operating system; these services include scheduling, memory management and inter-process communications. In turn, co-operating system servers provide at the application programmer's interface a particular operating system personality. The CHORUS/MiX implementation of UNIX 2 is based on USL source code, but is significantly re-structured into a set of system servers. This re-structuring has resulted in a modular and adaptable system which is well suited to distribution across a loosely coupled parallel architecture. The CHORUS/MiX system is further being developed to provide what has been termed single site semantics (SSS). This will make it possible to create the illusion of UNIX running on a single processor whilst taking advantage of the availability of a number of loosely coupled processors. The IMS T9000 3 Transputer will be one of the first processors on which CHORUS/MiX SSS will be implemented. |
