Book Synopsis Evolution of an Operating System for Large-scale Shared-memory Multiprocessors by : Michael Lee Scott
Book excerpt: The Psyche project is characterized by (1) a design that permits the implementation of multiple models of parallelism, both within and among applications, (2) the ability to trade protection for performance, with information sharing as the default, rather than the exception, (3) explicit, user-level control of process structure and scheduling, and (4) a kernel implementation that uses shared memory itself, and that provides users with the illusion of uniform memory access times.
