Title: Virtual-time operating-system functions for robotics application on a hypercube

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6770406

Hypercube multiprocessors used in autonomous robots carrying out time-critical tasks in unpredictable environments require special operating-system functions to provide the capability of rapid response to unforeseen external events. A ''virtual-time'' shell having such capabilities is under design for the Vertex operating system of the NCUBE hypercube computer.
