Abstract
This paper presents the design and implementation of the microkernel based parallel operating system named MISIX for the highly parallel processing system called SPAX. First, we discuss the design specifications and practical design issues of MISIX. Then, we present the design and implementation of MISIX. Finally, we summerize the lessons we have learned throughout the design and implementations.
