OSTI ID:5084497
The structure of PASMOS, a distributed operating system for the PASM parallel processing system, is overviewed. PASM is a large-scale dynamically reconfigurable multi-microcomputer system which is being designed at Purdue University for image processing and pattern recognition applications. This special purpose nature of PASM has been exploited in the design of PASMOS. PASMOS has a hierarchical structure and is distributed throughout the hardware components of PASM. PASMOS creates an execution environment for parallel processing tasks. It is responsible for task management and scheduling and provides facilities for user interaction, memory management, file system control, hardware fault detection, protection, and process control. The software components of PASMOS and the way in which they are distributed throughout the PASM system are described. 33 references.
