RCOS
Development on RCOS (the MS-DOS version) has finished due to the short lived future of that platform and also its restrictive nature. The current version of RCOS
- uses a priority based, round-robin scheduling algorithm to multi-task pcode programs,
- uses a simple fixed partition memory management algorithm,
- uses a simple file system based on CP/M,
- supports the use of semaphores and shared memory in pcode programs,
- allows the user to specify the number of terminals for I/O,
- animates process and disk scheduling.
RCOS.java
Development on RCOS.java commenced early in 1996 and a very rough alpha version is available thatThe first beta version of RCOS.java is due for completion by the end of 1996.
- has a very rudimentary user interface and animation,
- animates process scheduling,
- uses a simple round-robin scheduling algorithm to multi-task pcode programs,
- supports the use of semaphores and shared memory in pcode programs,
- a CP/M based file system and a fixed partition memory management system have been written but not incorporated, and
- still has the odd bug to be fixed.
