Abstract
This thesis extends the multi-computer real-time
executive, MCOPTEX, for a cluster of single board computers
(INTEL iSBC 36/12) on the MULTIBUS, to a multiple cluster
system tied together by a Local Area Network (Ethernet). The
E-MCORTEX system uses evertcounts and sequencers to
synchronize processes resident in the network. Data
communications between processes are presently limited to a
single cluster with shared memory. However, future versions
of E-MCORTEX will" permit network-wide process
synchronization and data communication.
