OSTI ID:6422068

The design of a dual processor Vax 11/780 built at the Purdue University Electrical Engineering School is described. A standard single processor Vax 11/780 was converted into a dual processor system. A detailed description of hardware modifications performed and a parts list are included. The dual processor Vax is currently running a modified version of the UNIX** (fourth Berkeley distribution) operating system. Because of licensing restrictions, operating system modifications are only covered in general. Finally some performance evaluation is discussed, along with the problems encountered.
