The Design and Emulation of a System Kernel for X-Tree,

Abstract

X-tree is tree-structured network of single-chip processors designed for 1985 technology. An operating system kernel for supervising the operation of each processor was designed and coded. To test the code, an X-tree emulator was written to run on the PDP 11/70 UNIX system. The kernel internal structure and the emulation techniques used are presented in this paper. The feasibility of the kernel design is demonstrated by a successful emulation of the X-tree executing a simple user program. Suggestions are also made for future extensions of this work to add more functions to the kernel and to improve the range and efficiency of the emulation.
