At some point i downloaded and saved a copy of

phd thesis about Synthesis. If memory serves it was from
= ext_link "Valerie Aurora" , "valerieaurora.org"
%p
By chance i noticed that my links don't work and so i googled it and could
not find another copy of the whole thesis online. So i am making my copy of
= link_to "SynthesisOS" , "/synthesis/index"
available. But i must apologise that the formatting is whacked, and in the
conversion to haml some layout got inacurate. My only excuse is that this
was never intended for anyone but me. But it is a very important milestone
in our understanding of how to implement new and good ideas, so i will continue
to host it and put a link up on wikipedia too.

%h3 4.1.1 Quaject Interfaces
%p
The interface to a quaject consists of callentries, callbacks, and callouts. A client uses the services of a quaject by calling a callentry. Normally a callentry invocation simply returns. Exceptional situations return along callbacks. Callouts are places in the quaject where external calls to other quaject's callentries happen. Tables 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 list the interfaces to the Synthesis basic kernel quajects.

%h3 7.4.2 Porting Synthesis to the Sony NEWS Workstation
%p
Synthesis was first developed for the Quamachine, and like many substantial software systems, has gone through several revisions. The early kernel had several shortcomings. While the kernel showed impressive speed gains over conventional operating systems such as
= succeed "," do
= succeed "." do
%span.smallcaps Unix
%p
The goal of the Synthesis port to the Sony workstation was to alleviate the shortcomings, for example, by cleaning up the kernel structure and adding virtual memory and networking support. In particular, we wanted to show that the additional functionality would not significantly slow down the Synthesis kernel. This section reports on the experience and discusses the problems encountered while porting.
