The recently proposed dataplanes for microsecond scale applications, such as IX and
ZygOS, use non-preemptive policies to schedule requests to cores. For the many real-world …

Cilk (pronounced “silk”) is a C-based runtime system for multi-threaded parallel
programming. In this paper, we document the efficiency of the Cilk work-stealing scheduler …

Traditional operating systems limit the performance, flexibility, and functionality of
applications by fixing the interface and implementation of operating system abstractions …

This paper analyzes the scalability of seven system applications (Exim, memcached,
Apache, PostgreSQL, gmake, Psearchy, and MapReduce) running on Linux on a 48-core …

The control and data flow of a program can be represented using continuations, a concept
from denotational semantics that has practical application in real compilers. This book …

We present ghOSt, our infrastructure for delegating kernel scheduling decisions to
userspace code. ghOSt is designed to support the rapidly evolving needs of our data center …

Multiprocessor application performance can be limited by the operating system when the
application uses the operating system frequently and the operating system services use data …

This is the third edition of “Distributed Systems.” In many ways, it is a huge difference
compared to the previous editions, the most important one perhaps being that we have fully …

" Modern Compiler Design" makes the topic of compiler design more accessible by focusing
on principles and techniques of wide application. By carefully distinguishing between the …
