Operating system interface for MATE (OSIM): A technical overview
C. Wood, R. Krupa · 2002
Four areas of the OSIM (operating system interface for MATE) concept are discussed. The OSIM system architecture is described. OSIM's functional objectives, including OSIM's relationship to the POSIX standard, MCSS (MATE control and support software) rehost requirements, technical benefits in terms of technology insertion, and OSIM's impact on MATE systems performance, are discussed. It is shown that the OSIM's concept, and specifically MCSS Versions 6.0 and 7.0, represented major advances in MATE. In terms of cost, the concept represents reductions in ATE acquisition, maintenance, and total life-cycle cost.>
