....in a host independent way. It provides light weight processes (threads) together with efficient inter thread communication and synchronization mechanisms. The interface to KSC is expressed in terms of KSC objects and operations on these objects. A detailed discussion can be found in[18] and[17] . Because UNIX systems have no support for multiple threads in a single address space, we implemented a light weight process package with preemptive priority scheduling. Rescheduling occurs whenever a service call is made, or when a UNIX signal arrives (e.g. a SIGALRM signal when a timer ....
