The system in operation

Proceedings of the February 11-12, 1954, western computer conference: Trends in computers: automatic control and data processing on - AIEE-IRE '53 (Western), 1954
The gentlemen who have preceded me here today have all represented what might be titled the "heroes" of the computer world; the business men of vision who can foresee the coming revolution in business data processing which the modern computer portends, the system engineer who molds this tool into usable and workable forms, and the computer designer who

Operating System Transactions

Proceedings of the ACM SIGOPS 22nd symposium on Operating systems principles, 2009
Applications must be able to synchronize accesses to operating system resources in order to ensure correctness in the face of concurrency and system failures. System transactions allow the programmer to specify updates to heterogeneous system resources with the OS guaranteeing atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID).

Disaggregated operating system

Proceedings of the 2017 Symposium on Cloud Computing, 2017
Recently, there is an emerging trend to move towards a disaggregated hardware architecture that breaks monolithic servers into independent hardware components that are connected to a fast, scalable network [1, 2]. The disaggregated architecture offers several benefits over traditional monolithic server model, including better resource utilization, ease

Outlook on Operating Systems

Computer, 2016
Will OSs in 2025 still resemble the Unix-like consensus of today, or will a very different design achieve widespread adoption?

Multilevel operating systems

Communications of the ACM, 1966
The basic software for all newer computers is built on the well-established need for standard operating systems. This implies that all applications—no matter how large, complex or time consuming—must operate under (or, more precisely, on top of) the standard system. Large applications require supervisory monitors which handle problems similar

A small operating system

Proceedings of the 1990 ACM SIGSMALL/PC symposium on Small systems - SIGSMALL '90, 1990
A multitasking operating system for an IBM PC or compatible has been developed to provide students with an educational opportunity for hands-on experience with concurrent programming concepts. The operating system includes features which permit users to observe performance as a function of the I/O versus compute bound processes.

Simulating operating systems

IBM Systems Journal, 1969
A simulator is discussed that provides a language and a structure specifically designed for modeling computer systems to evaluate their performance. The simulator prorides general equipment models, and the authors discuss their experience in developing a general submodel of a multiprogramming operating system.

The Linux operating system

Computer, 1995
The enormous consumer market for IBM PCs and compatibles has made them affordable. Now, with a free operating system called Linux, these inexpensive machines can be converted into powerful workstations for teaching, research and software development. For professionals who use Unix-based workstations at work, Linux permits virtually identical working ...

An environment for an operating system

Proceedings of the 1964 19th ACM national conference on -, 1964
Conventional operating systems are limited in scope and are designed to deal with very specific problems in the utilization of a computer facility. As more sophisticated programming techniques and new applications for computers are developed, it becomes increasingly apparent that operating systems, as currently conceived, do not adequately cope with ...

Quantum Operating Systems

Proceedings of the 16th Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems, 2017
If large-scale quantum computers become commonplace, the operating system will have to provide novel abstractions to capture the power of this bizarre new hardware. In this paper, we consider this and other systems-level issues that quantum computers would raise, and we demonstrate that these machines would offer surprising speed-ups for a number of ...
