A Guest Facility for Unicos

New Image

The COS system for Cray's X/MP series supports a guest facility, under which Unicos, their version of UNIX(R) System V, can run as a subsystem in a fixed partition of the machine. The guest facility is lacking under Unicos itself. This paper reports an experiment in which the author and David Slowinski added a limited version of the guest facility to Unicos.
