It pioneered many of innovations which are still widely used in the computing systems of today: hierarchical file system, redirection as interprocess communication, or the existence of a shell[fn:wiki], as well as memory pages, memory protection, or the ability for a single machine to use multiple CPUs and memory[fn:allen]. -It was however also huge, both in terms of memory usage (the resident kernel could occupy a huge part of memory living not enough for applications) and code size (it consisted of about 1,5k source modules)[fn:wiki]. +It was however also huge, both in terms of memory usage (the resident kernel could occupy a huge part of memory leaving not enough for applications) and code size (it consisted of about 1,5k source modules)[fn:wiki]. /Multics/ was experimental and therefore ambitious, complex - designed by trial and error.
