The Roscoe Kernel

Abstract

Roscoe is a multi-computer operating system running on a network of LSI-11 computers at the University of Wisconsin. This document describes the implementation of the Roscoe kernel at the level of detail necessary for a programmer who intends to add a module or modify the existing code. Companion reports describe the purposes and concepts underlying the Roscoe project, present the implementation details of the utility processes, and display Roscoe fromthe point of view of the user program.
