A simple executive for a fault-tolerant, real-time multiprocessor.Description of a simple executive for operation with a fault-tolerant multiprocessor that is oriented toward application in an environment where the primary function is to provide real-time control. The primary executive function is to accept requests for jobs placed by other jobs or from peripheral equipment and then schedule their initiation in accordance with the request parameters. The executive is also brought into action when a processor fails, so that appropriate disposition may be made of the job that was running on the failed processor. Many architectural features intended to support this executive concept are included.
