Title: The Design and Implementation of OSF/1 AD3 Based-Microkernel Initialization for SPAX
Abstract: In comparison to traditional monolithic kernel, the microkernel based operating system has slower speed. But Microkernel based OS suites for multi-computer system, because It has benefits in the modularity and portability point of view. Each unit and memory of a processor must be initialized by using the boot information so that the multi-computer system OS can actively run the function of the system. This paper describes the microkernel initialization of OSF/1 AD3 MISIX that is based on OSF/1 AD3 for SPAX. It will introduce the initialization of microkernel for the SPAX which is High-speed Parallel Processing system in terms of Boot, Initialization related hardware and memory address space construction. This paper will also state the test result based on test environments. Microkernel tested in single node system that has 4 processors.
