The <strong>SCO</strong> <strong>UnixWare</strong> <strong>2.1</strong> Kernel: Inside a high-performance engine<br />
The <strong>SCO</strong> <strong>UnixWare</strong> <strong>2.1</strong> operating system is based on highly innovative SMP kernel technology<br />
developed by the engineers of UNIX Systems Laboratories and Novell UNIX Systems Group. It<br />
provides a fully parallel environment via multithreading, multitasking, 32-bit computing,<br />
asynchronous I/O, and a fully pre-emptable kernel, all with support for multiprocessing. Some of<br />
the key features/services offered by the <strong>SCO</strong> <strong>UnixWare</strong> <strong>2.1</strong> operating system in support of<br />
powerful application servers include:<br />
• symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP)<br />
• consistent kernel-level and user-level multi-threading<br />
• rich device driver support<br />
• asynchronous I/O<br />
• flexible file system support<br />
