The structure of window system on Solelc distributed operating system

摘要

Since the conventional window system manages each hardware resource such as display and mouse as a unit of the terminal, it is necessary for each application to reconstruct the way of communication among processes and also among window systems in order to use plural terminals simultaneously. In Solelc distributed operating system which we have been developing, the kernel provides processes with functions for managing resources location transparently. Therefore, by using Solelc kernel functions, it has become to be easy to implement a window system which manages plural terminals. In this paper, the construction and processing scheme of the window system in Solelc is described.
