The PANDA system architecture-a pico-kernel approach

The goal of PANDA is to provide an environment for parallel and distributed programming in C++. The system architecture consists of a small operating system kernel, and a runtime package located in user space. The concepts of PANDA are outlined with the focus on the system architecture.<<ETX>>
