Abstract

The operating system described in this paper was developed as part of research sponsored by The National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research on satellite processing and symbolic debugging of data structures. This system runs on a small (32K bytes), dual processor, microprogrammable computer equipped with a high-speed graphic display unit and attached in satellite mode to the multiplexor channel of an IBM System/360-67.

THE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM: AN INTRODUCTION
A microprogrammed satellite graphics system
Proceedings of the meeting on SIGPLAN/SIGMICRO interface

A coordinated research effort in the area of interactive computer graphics using a host-satellite configuration is described. Central to the project is the use of a high-level programming language and two microprogrammable processors. The system as a ...
An analysis of operating system behavior on a simultaneous multithreaded architecture
ASPLOS IX: Proceedings of the ninth international conference on Architectural support for programming languages and operating systems

This paper presents the first analysis of operating system execution on a simultaneous multithreaded (SMT) processor. While SMT has been studied extensively over the past 6 years, previous research has focused entirely on user-mode execution. However, ...
