ARGOS: A Research GMMP Operating System: Overview and Interfaces

Abstract

This report presents an overview of A Research GMMP Operating System (ARGOS) developed at the NMSU Parallel Architecture Research Laboratory for the prototype Virtual Port Memory multiprocessor. ARGOS is an initial attempt to realize the reliability and performance benefits expected of GMMP multiprocessors. After a review of GMMP architectures and the Virtual Port Memory machine, the structure and philosophy of ARGOS are presented, followed by interface-level descriptions of each of the system modules. Later reports will present detailed individual discussion of the implementations of these modules. Keywords: Computer files.
