What I would like to know is has anyone kept this list up to date, and if so could you please mail me a copy. More importantly, could anyone please give me contact addresses of people, companies and universities doing R&D work on any of the following ? Mach, Amoeba, Topaz, MPX, QIX, Peace, Trollius, Helios, Chorus, Plan-9, TransIDRIS The reason for all this is that I am trying to do an article on the current trends of Parallel Operating systems on shared and distributed memory multi-processor machines. I am interested in what standards are appearing, architectural compatability, scaleabilty (# of processors -limit?), efficiency etc etc. Anyone who has that sort of information, please let me know and if possible email me what you can. Once complete I will post the article on the trends back here for your collective info. Thanks Alex Schuilenburg al@perisl.uucp Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
