Effective interprocess communication (IPC) in a real-time transputer network
thesis
posted on 2018-05-22, 15:23 authored by Mehmet BorThe thesis describes the design and implementation of an interprocess communication (IPC)
mechanism within a real-time distributed operating system kernel (RT-DOS) which is
designed for a transputer-based network. The requirements of real-time operating systems
are examined and existing design and implementation strategies are described. Particular
attention is paid to one of the object-oriented techniques although it is concluded that these
techniques are not feasible for the chosen implementation platform. Studies of a number of
existing operating systems are reported. The choices for various aspects of operating system
design and their influence on the IPC mechanism to be used are elucidated. The actual design
choices are related to the real-time requirements and the implementation that has been
adopted is described. [Continues.]
