Zusammenfassung:This thesis presents a simply structured design for the implementation of processes in a kernel-structured operating system. The design provides a minimal mechanism for the support of two distinct classes of processes found in the computer system -- those which are part of the kernel operating system itself, and those used to execute user-specified computations. The design is broken down into two levels, one which implements a fixed number of virtual processors, which are then used to run kernel processes, and are multiplexed to provide processes for user computations. Eventcount primitives are provided, in order to provide a simple unified interprocess control communication mechanism. The design is intended to be used in the creation of a secure kernel for the Multics operating system. (Author).
