Hi all,
I stumbled across this reference to a 1975 Masters thesis:
de Brito Meyer. W., and Hawley, J.A.. III. Munix. a multiprocessor version
of UNIX. Master's thesis, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Calif.. 1975.
Description of dual processor Unix.
Can anybody tell me what PDP11 platforms around 1975 had multi-CPU
capability? Also, if anybody has further information about Munix,
please let me know!
Thanks in advance for any help. I've trawled thru the Unix Archive
with no results.
I remember that CMU built a MP system out of 11/40 systems...
Search for C.mmp (if my memory is correct).
I think they built some special hardware for this. And since these
machines don't have a cache, it makes life easier...
