Book ·
OSTI ID:5290834
The author considers the development of an operating system for a fault tolerant multiprocessor the August Systems Series 300. In developing such a system, unique problems arose in testing and debugging the operating system, particularly those low level functions that had to do with the detailed interactions between the processors, such as communication, synchronization, error detection and error masking. The three principal tools used in this effort were a logic analyzer, an in circuit emulator (ICE) and a software debugging system called surgeon especially developed for this system. 5 references.
