Abstract

This paper describes the software system being developed for Cm*, a distributed multi-microprocessor. This software provides for flexible, yet controlled, sharing of code and data via a capability addressed virtual memory, creation and management of groups of processes known as task forces, and efficient interprocess communication. Both the software and hardware are currently under construction at Carnegie-Mellon University.
