Abstract

Concurrent and distributed processing systems based on multiple microprocessors are both feasible and desirable. Processes residing on different processors execute in parallel while processes allocated on the same processor execute in a multiprogramming environment. These processes normally have to communicate and synchronize in order to achieve a common goal. Communication and synchronization are usually achieved by calling primitives supplied by a kernel. The paper describes a model of implementation for message-passing primitives which must be added to a single-processor kernel for communication and synchronization purposes in multimicroprocessor systems.
