A Real-Time Executive for Multiple-Computer Clusters.

Abstract

This thesis extends the multi-computer real-time executive, MCORTEX, for a cluster of single board computers (INTEL iSBC 86/12 86/12) on the MULTIBUS, to a multiple cluster system tied together by a Local Area Network (Ethernet). The E-MCORTEX system uses eventcounts and sequencers to synchronize processes resident in the network. Data communications between processes are presently limited to a single cluster with shared memory. However, future versions of E-MCORTEX will permit network-wide process synchronization and data communication. Originator-supplied keywords included: Distributed Data Processing, MULTIBUS, CP/M-86. Ethernet, Local Area Network. Microprocesses, Debugging, Input Output Processing, and Computer Programs.
