Comprehensive operating system for highly parallel machine

This paper describes the design and implementation of a comprehensive operating system (COS) for highly parallel machine. This is one of the research themes in the Japanese University Highly Parallel Research Project supported by the Special Grant of the Research Funds of Ministry of Education. The target machine is called JUMP-1 originally developed in this project. Several design policies are discussed, and the user service classes are defined. COS architecture is based on the micro kernel, and it includes both Partition OS and Service OS. The development environment is also discussed briefly.<
