Dr. W.M. Gentleman of National Research Council of Ca- nada will speak on ``Using Harmony.'' TIME: 3:30 PM ROOM: MC 5158 ABSTRACT The Harmony operating system, and the Chorus multipro- cessor on which it runs, provide an environment for us- ing parallel computation in robotics and other embedded realtime situations. Beyond that, they provide an inexpensive and friendly environment to experiment with writing parallel programs for other application domains. Harmony is an evolution of Thoth, the unipro- cessor realtime operating system developed earlier at the University of Waterloo. This talk will describe the user's view of programming with Harmony, including his view of the Chorus hardware. It will comment on experience to date, and intended directions for the future.
