Abstract

The distributed system of this project integrates the functions of the kernel of the distributed operating system with the hardware and protocols of a high performance local area network (LAN). The "LAN" is a data flow architecture that provides computing and communication functions on a store and forward ring in which the data packets are data flow tokens. The network is implemented with data flow microprocessors that realize the processing and communication functions of the distributed kernel. The global state of the system is described by the data flow graph and its tokens which are resident in the network.
