Last year at Summmer Usenix in Atlanta, someone delivered a paper on
the Mach Operating System...

	"Mach is a multiprocessor operating system kernel and environment...
	Mach provides a new foundation for UNIX development that spans 
	networks of uniprocessors and multiprocessors..."

This was the abstract from the paper "Mach: a New Kernel Foundation for Unix 
Development", Accetta, Baron, Bolosky, Golub, Rashid, Tevanian and Young.
They are out of Carnegie Mellon University.  You can look the paper up
in the conference proceedings.

					hope this helps
