Page "Accent kernel" Paragraph 6

After a few years the Accent project started looking less and less interesting.

In the early 1980s many felt that future gains in performance would be made by adding more CPUs to machines, something the Accent kernel was not really equipped to handle.

Adding to the problem was that a new generation of more powerful workstations were appearing, meaning that Accent would likely have to be ported to them anyway.

Likewise Unix had grown into the operating system of choice for experimental work, both on operating system design, as well as a development platform for user applications.
