The design of multiple-access computer systems: part 2

M. V. Wilkes and R. M. Needham *

University Mathematical Laboratory, Corn Exchange St., Cambridge, UK

In a previous paper, one of the authors discussed some of the hardware and software problems facing the designer of a multiple-access computer system. The present paper carries the discussion further and surveys certain areas of system design that are at present far from being well understood. In particular the problem of communication between processes in a multi-computer configuration is discussed. The authors offer no final solutions, but endeavour to set in perspective some of the problems that must be solved before highly efficient multiple-access systems can be designed.
