The Mach OS project, initiated in 1984 and concluding in 1994, was primarily designed to support multiprocessor systems. It serves as the logical successor to Carnegie Mellon University's Accent kernel and is recognized as one of the earliest microkernels. The implementations and derivatives of Mach have significantly influenced the modern OS kernels, particularly in Mac OS X, demonstrating the duality of memory management and inter-process communication. This introduction outlines the key aspects and historical impact of the Mach project on operating systems.
