The Performance of an Object-Oriented, Parallel Operating System

The Performance of an Object-Oriented, Parallel Operating System

The nascent and rapidly evolving state of parallel systems often leaves parallel application developers at the mercy of ineecient, innexible operating system software. Given the relatively primitive state of parallel systems software, maximizing the performance of parallel applications not only requires judicious tuning of the application software, but occasionally, the replacement of speciic s...

Choices: An Object-Oriented Multimedia Operating System

This paper describes the design of the Choices object oriented multimedia operating system. Choices provides an architecture for interconnecting different OS subsystems, with these subsystems realized as separate modules. The modules will be implemented as independent object-oriented frameworks. Frameworks interact through exported abstract interfaces. The sub-classing of components within fram...

Elmwood - An Object - Oriented Multiprocessor Operating System

Elmwood is an object-oriented, multiprocessor operating system designed and implemented as a group project at the University of Rochester. An Elmwood object, consisting of code and data, represents an instance of an abstract data type. Only the code associated with an object may access its data; interaction between objects is via remote procedure call Access to an object requires that the calle...

EPOS: An Object-Oriented Operating System

This position paper reports the current development stage of project Epos, which aims to deliver, whenever possible automatically, a customized runtime support system for each (high performance) parallel application. In order to achieve this, Epos introduces the concepts of adaptable, scenario independent system abstractions, scenario adapters and inflated interfaces. An application designed an...
