'''Unix/NS''' (the [[NCR Corporation|NCR]] 3700 Operating System) is based on the [[Unix]] [[SVR4]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=NCR 3700 - The Next Generation Industrial Database Computer |url=http://www.vldb.org/conf/1993/P230.PDF |access-date=February 19, 2024 |website=www.vldb.org}}</ref> It contains significant extensions for massively parallel systems, in particular Distributed Memory DBMSs. The extensions include the concepts of virtual processor and virtual disk, message and global synchronization system, segment system, and globally distributed objects. When compared to other parallel UNIX operating systems like [[Mach (kernel)|Mach]] or [[ChorusOS|Chorus]], Unix/NS has a more powerful communication and message addressing paradigm, and richer process-group management and global synchronization mechanism.
