%X This paper describes real\-time software features to support
   parallel processing. Synchronized channel communications are
   implemented as a basic operating system function for a
   distributed memory multi\-processor StrongARM system.
   Inter\-processor communications are handled using the ICR
   C416 packet router switch, which makes the system scalable.
   The system will provide a considerable layer of software
   abstraction and support to the end\-users for developing
   their applications. The kernel layers, inter\-process
   communications, control flow of application software, and
   the stages involved in application development for
   end\-users, are described here. Some performance
   considerations are briefly discussed.
