Pilot was a single-user, multitasking operating system designed by Xerox PARC in early 1977. Pilot was written in the Mesa programming language, totalling about 24,000 lines of code. Pilot was designed as a single user system in a highly networked environment of other Pilot systems, with interfaces designed for inter-process communication (IPC) across the network via the Pilot stream interface.

  • Pilot was a single-user, multitasking operating system designed by Xerox PARC in early 1977. Pilot was written in the Mesa programming language, totalling about 24,000 lines of code. Pilot was designed as a single user system in a highly networked environment of other Pilot systems, with interfaces designed for inter-process communication (IPC) across the network via the Pilot stream interface. Pilot combined virtual memory and file storage into one subsystem, and used the manager/kernel architecture for managing the system and its resources. Its designers considered a non-preemptive multitasking model, but later chose a preemptive system based on 'monitors' Pilot was used as the operating system for the Xerox Star workstation.
  • Pilot — однопользовательская многозадачная операционная система, разработанная в Xerox PARC в начале 1977 года. Программный код Pilot был написан на языке программирования Mesa и составлял 24 000 строк. Pilot была предназначена для тесного сетевого взаимодействия с другими компьютерами под управлением Pilot при помощи интерфейсов, спроектированных для межпроцессных коммуникаций (IPC) по сети через потоковый интерфейс Pilot. Pilot объединяла виртуальную память и файловое хранилище в одну подсистему, и использовала менеджер и ядро архитектуры для управления системой и её ресурсами. Pilot использовалась в качестве основной операционной системы рабочей станции Xerox Star.
