TPP-SO/P: a real-time operating system for distributed applications

The authors present a real-time, multitasking, multiuser operating system for a processor board based on the Intel microprocessor iAPX 286. Protection mechanisms and task management features of the processor are noted. An extended CHILL concurrency environment is implemented to provide facilities for real-time software development. Memory management, system interface, debugging, fault treatment, implementation, and usage are also discussed.<
