Abstract
This paper presents the design and operation of a multicomputer system consisting of a number of computers interconnected by a global bus. One of these computers performs control functions including communication between the other computers. Data can be transferred either through dual ported RAMs or directly between the local memories of the source and destination computers. These features are used by a distributed operating system that creates processes on individual computers, provides message passing facilities and allows files in one computer to be accessed by any computer. The resulting system provides an environment where multitasking programs, developed for execution in single processor systems, can be supported with minor changes, so that individual tasks may execute in different computers. Both methods of data transfers are used in experiments designed to measure the speed of process creation and communication.
