Abstract

The Distributed Processing Programming Executive (DPPX) is a new, full-function operating system designed to support distributed processing with the IBM 8100 Information System. The functional requirements of distributed processing and their solutions in DPPX are discussed. The structure of the operating system is outlined, and its advantages are analyzed. Highlighted are particular characteristics of the DPPX structure that uniquely support distributed processing.
