Abstract

B-HIVE is an experimental multiprocessor system under construction at North Carolina State University. Its operating system is derived from XINU, an operating system designed for teaching purposes. XINU was chosen because it is unusually well documented and supplied most of the features that were necessary at the outset of the project. Among the few changes made to XINU are a supervisor state and an interprocessor communication system.
