TRIX, um Sistema Operacional Multiprocessado para Transputers
Abstract
This paper describes the development of an operating system to manage several processors of transputer type. This system, called TRIX, was build based on the source code of MINIX operating system, which is compatible to UNIX. TRIX has a layered structure, with a micro-kernel in its innermost portion which implements message passing sequential processes. System calls and input-output operations are done by servers, whose are independant processes. Here is described the system structure, its micro-kernel and the distributed features of the server processes.
