Abstract

The paper describes an Operating System, which directly allows the implementation of parallel processes. The base of this Operating System consists of formally identical Resources, which are multiplexed active elements (called processors) of a Computer System - (Primary Resources) or combinations of actions of other, predefined Resources (Combined and Pseudo-Resources). The actions of Resources are defined by parameters (for peripheral processors) or by parameters and code (for programmable processors). These actions are defined by orders; an important parameter of an order is a pointer to a new order (possibly for an other Resource), which has to be executed on completion of the primary order (concatenation). It is shown that this method of concatenation, together with the possibility to form Combined Resources, implicitly solves all problems of synchronization. Combination of Resources, creating new Resources, is also the base for a hierarchical development to more sophisticated Operating System functions
