Design of a Multiprocessing Operating System for Sixteen-Bit Microprocessors.

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation is to develop a multiprocessing operating system for sixteen-bit micro-computers. The AFIT Multiprocessing Operating System (AMOS) is based on state-of-the-art software and hardware technology. AMOS has been designed to be implementable on any of the current powerful microprocessors. The Zilog Z8000 single chip microprocessor was chosen for the initial implementation due to its advanced architecture and architectural similarity to popular minicomputer processors.
