Top Research Papers on Operating Systems

The primary role of the OS in a cluster is the same twofold task: multiplex multiple user processes onto a single set of hardware components and providing useful abstractions for high-level software (beautification).

Write a C program using the fork() system call that generates the Fibonacci sequence in the child process and perform necessary error checking to ensure that a non-negative number is passed on the command line.

The handling of sensible data in Information Systems is currently very usual, but when biometric information is handled it becomes a critical point, as it is expected to be kept the same during the whole life of a person.

Performance = 1/Time The goal for all software and hardware developers is to increase performance Metrics for measuring performance (pros/cons?) Elapsed time CPU time • Instruction count (RISC vx. CISC) • Clock cycles per instruction • Clock cycle time MIPS vs. MFLOPS Throughput (tasks/time) Other more subjective metrics? What kind of workload to be used? Applications, kernels and benchmarks (toy or synthetic)

An operating system (commonly abbreviated OS and O/S) is the infrastructure software component of a computer system; it is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the sharing of the limited resources of the computer.

The computer operating system of the invention classifies various kinds of codes and datum required for the running of the computer into the fixed part and the varying part, the two parts are separated and then uses different information storage safety management method and temporary running storagesafety management method to realize the high stability and high reliability of theComputer operating system.

This edition has been updated and modernized; now included are enhanced discussions of the latest innovation evolutions and how they affect operating systems.

The invention provides a system for operating a server that comprises a proxy module, a management module and an application module so that safety and convenience in realizing remote operation of the server are facilitated.

This work investigates the influence of memory contention in embedded real-time multicore applications and memory management in embedded systems, and investigates run-time support for both multicore and nonmulticore systems in the context of embedded systems.

This unique book teaches introductory subjects in OS design and implementation through hands-on engagement with OSP 2, the next generation of the highly popular OSP courseware.

The aims of this chapter are to introduce the following: To provide a brief history of operating system development. To look briefly at some commonly used operating systems DOS and Windows. Unix and X-Windows. VMS and Open VMS.

This textbook offers a survey of all the major microcomputer operating systems through real-world case studies, annotated illustrations, and step-by-step tutorials and projects, designed for IT students who want to learn how to install, configure, and troubleshoot operating systems.

As one of the part of book categories, operating systems theory always becomes the most wanted book.

An operating systems project which is part of an introductory course in operating systems is described, which emphasizes on process management within operating systems, was implemented on the Motorola 68000 Single Computer Board.

An operating system simulator designed to be used as an instructional tool in the teaching of OS performance issues and empirical validation indicates that the model simulates typical OS behavior, and that it has potential for becoming an effective teaching tool.

A process is essentially an abstraction of a computer that provides the operating environment for applications, which is based on the hardware, but with some changes such as lack of access to privileged instructions.

As the operating system is the bottom layer of software supporting all the services used by applications its security is fundamental and a recent paper makes a case for the importance of the OS in a secure system.

The aim of this paper is to show that computer operating systems are, from the user's point of view, not only inevitable but desirable.
