[comp.os.minix] Multi-threaded File system for Minix

PEDE%SBU.UFRGS.ANRS.BR@uicvm.uic.edu (07/31/90)

        I made several modifications on the Minix file server to improve
his performance for use in a multi-processor hardware using MINIX SO.

        All the modifications were done in version 1.1 of Minix. It is
the only (well-tested) version that we have here.

        The paralelization of the server was done using multiple threads
 and critical sections over all the code.

        We are now converting these modifications to newer versions of
Minix, and we intend to put the DIFFS on public soon.

        Our system runs under IBM-PC ""XT"" with multiple (textual)
windows with buffered messages.
