Although multitasking and multiprocessing have become common features of microprocessor operating sytems, rarely can the software support multiple processors. One exception is the IMAX operating sytem, written in ADA and running on IAPX 432 general-purpose data processors. By keeping tasks independent of the processors which operate on them, IMAX makes multiprocessing transparent. The 432's multiprocessing architecture solves the problem of keeping task dispatching independent of processors. The system is described.
