Abstract: This paper examines a kernel implemented lightweight process mechanism built for the Mach operating system. The pros and cons of such a mechanism are discussed along with the problems encountered during its implementation. 1. Introduction The early Unix notion of process was based on the hardware abstraction of its day: a single CPU executing within a memory address space. Even today, although, multiprocessors are becoming increasingly common, neither Unix System V nor 4.3 BSD provide a way to... (Update)
