This is the book version of Duane's Ph.D. thesis at CMU (disclosure: I was his Ph.D. advisor). It covers both the principles and the implementation of the Alpha kernel. The two keystone technologies -- distributed (trans-node) threads and pluggable scheduling algorithms -- were subsequently included in the OSF/1 MK7.3 OS, but are only now in 2001 becoming more widely copied. Both technologies appear in OMG's Dynamic Scheduling Real-Time CORBA and in Sun's Distributed Real-Time Specification for Java. Papers subsequent to this book have more current material about these technolgies.
