In the area of scientific visualization, input data sets are often very large. In visualization of
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in particular, input data sets today can surpass 100 …

An important goal of an operating system is to make computing and communication
resources available in a fair and efficient way to the applications that will run on top of it. To …

To provide modularity and performance, operating system kernels should have only minimal
embedded functionality. Today's operating systems are large, inefficient and, most …

We describe an evolutionary path that allows operating systems to be used in a more
flexible and appropriate manner by higher-level services. An infokernel exposes key pieces …

Операционные системы реального времени (ОСРВ) предназначены для обеспечения
интерфейса к ресурсам критических по времени систем реального времени. Основной …

The last decade has seen the emergence and popularisation of middleware technologies,
such as the OMG's Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Microsoft's …

A number of researchers have recently suggested the use of reflection as a means of
supporting dynamic adaptation of object-oriented software especially systems software …

The implementor of an operating system service faces inherent dilemmas in choosing
implementation strategies. A new approach to operating system design is emerging in …

The GNU Hurd's design was motivated by a desire to rectify a number of observed
shortcomings in Unix. Foremost among these is that many policies that limit users exist …

Applications often require functionality that is implemented in the kernel, but as not directly
available to the user level. While extensible operating systems allow kernel functionality to …
