Pilot: An Operating System for a Personal Computer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Pilot operating system provides a single-user, single-language environment for higher level software on a powerful personal computer. Its features include virtual memory, a large "fiat" file system, streams, network communication facilities, and concurrent programming support. Pilot thus provides rather more powerful facilities than are normally associated with personal computers. The exact facilities provided display interesting similarities to and differences from corresponding facilities provided in large multi-user systems. Pilot is implemented entirely in Mesa, a highlevel system programming language. The modularization of the implementation displays some interesting aspects in terms of both the static structure and dynamic interactions of the various components.

The low cost of the personal computer (PC) has made it the ideal vehicle for monitoring processes in factories and laboratories. Software developed at the Sugar Milling Research Institute (SMRI) has resulted in two PC systems that are capable of simultaneously receiving a number of signals, monitoring these graphically in real time and of storing the data for subsequent analysis. A ten-channel ...
