vxworks? Not the last time I looked. :-)
vx-doesn't-work
I once had to work on a 64-node multiprocessor running this os. (did I
call it an OS? really? WHAT was I thinking?)
The major effort was to get a computation to return the same result
twice, without rebooting the whole system.
We never did.
Chuck Cranor ported NetBSD to this system; then life got bearable.
Burning the vxworks manuals was fun.
