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.

Proceedings of the 7th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop Systems support for worldwide applications - EW 7, 1996
We introduce server operating systems, which are sets of abstractions and runtime support for specialized, high-performance server applications. We have designed and are implementing a prototype server OS with support for aggressive specialization, direct device-to-device access, an event-driven organization, and dynamic compiler-assisted ILP.

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 ...

The explainable operating system
2005Contemporary operating systems still appear as huge monolithic objects. Each attempt to explain one of them's architecture typically results in the tedious enumeration of a large number of mutually depending features. To overcome that situation, a discipline on system architecture should be established aimed at the provision of understandable ...

Are operating systems at RISC?
2005A new generation of high speed microprocessors has become the standard in a number of workstation environments. The technology, RISC, has made high speed processing a reality at a relatively low price. The basic design goal of the RISC is aimed at higher speed execution of application programs and was based on an analysis of volumes of such code. It is

An operating system accelerator
Journal of Systems Architecture, 1998A RISC-style hardware accelerator for operating systems (OS), named the mechanism of multiprocessing (MMP) processor, is presented. The MMP processor implements the set of MMP primitives of the MMP mechanism with which the ES operating was enhanced. The architecture and organisation of this processor were devised to facilitate fast execution of the MMP

ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 1992
An operating systems project which is part of an introductory course in operating systems is described. The project, which emphasizes on process management within operating systems, was implemented on the Motorola 68000 Single Computer Board. In order to complete the work, the students were required to integrate knowledge gained from other courses.

Concurrency in Operating Systems
Computer, 1976As general-purpose computing systems become larger and more complex, it has become uneconomical to restrict their use to a single user or program. This has introduced the necessity of finding ways to safely share them.

Communications of the ACM, 1972
An overview of the current and future positions with respect to operating system performance is given. While a great deal of information and a large number of models for subsystems have been developed, gaps still exist in our knowledge. Because of the severe interactions between the various subsystems of an operating system, an overall model of the ...
