Fbufs: A High-Bandwidth Cross-Domain Transfer Facility
- in Proceedings of the Fourteenth ACM symposium on Operating Systems Principles
, 1993
"... We have designed and implemented a new operating system facility for I/O buffer management and data transfer across protection domain boundaries on shared memory machines. This facility, called fast buffers (fbufs), combines virtual page remapping with shared virtual memory, and exploits locality in ..."

the requirements for a cross-domain transfer facility, describes the design of the fbuf mechanism that meets these requirements, and experimentally quantifies the impact of fbufs on network performance. 1 Introduction Optimizing operations that cross protection domain boundaries has received a great deal
Fbufs: A High-Bandwidth Cross-Domain Transfer Facility
"... We have designed and implemented a new operating system facility for 1/0 buffer management and data trans-fer across protection domain boundm-ies on shared memory machines. This facility, called ~ast buffers (fbufs), com-bines virtual page remapping with shared virtual memory, and exploits locality ..."

SplitStream: High-Bandwidth Multicast in Cooperative Environments
- SOSP '03
, 2003
"... In tree-based multicast systems, a relatively small number of interior nodes carry the load of forwarding multicast messages. This works well when the interior nodes are highly available, d d cated infrastructure routers but it poses a problem for application-level multicast in peer-to-peer systems. ..."

Resource Containers: A New Facility for Resource Management in Server Systems
- In Operating Systems Design and Implementation
, 1999
"... General-purpose operating systems provide inadequate support for resource management in large-scale servers. Applications lack sufficient control over scheduling and management of machine resources, which makes it difficult to enforce priority policies, and to provide robust and controlled service. ..."

. There is a fundamental mismatch between the original design assumptions underlying the resource management mechanisms of current general-purpose operating systems, and the behavior of modern server applications. In particular, the operating system’s notions of protection domain and resource principal
U-Net: A User-Level Network Interface for Parallel and Distributed Computing
- In Fifteenth ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles

"... The U-Net communication architecture provides processes with a virtual view of a network interface to enable userlevel access to high-speed communication devices. The architecture, implemented on standard workstations using offthe-shelf ATM communication hardware, removes the kernel from the communi ..."

Agile Application-Aware Adaptation for Mobility
- SOSP-16
, 1997
"... In this paper we show that application-aware adaptation, a collaborative partnership between the operating system and applications, offers the most general and effective approach to mobile information access. We describe the design of Odyssey, a prototype implementing this approach, and show how it ..."

Route Packets, Not Wires: On-Chip Interconnection Networks
, 2001
"... Using on-chip interconnection networks in place of ad-hoc global wiring structures the top level wires on a chip and facilitates modular design. With this approach, system modules (processors, memories, peripherals, etc...) communicate by sending packets to one another over the network. The structur ..."

. The structured network wiring gives well-controlled electrical parameters that eliminate timing iterations and enable the use of high-performance circuits to reduce latency and increase bandwidth. The area overhead required to implement an on-chip network is modest, we estimate 6.6%. This paper introduces
Mediators in the architecture of future information systems

TreadMarks: Distributed Shared Memory on Standard Workstations and Operating Systems
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1994 WINTER USENIX CONFERENCE
, 1994
"... TreadMarks is a distributed shared memory (DSM) system for standard Unix systems such as SunOS and Ultrix. This paper presents a performance evaluation of TreadMarks running on Ultrix using DECstation-5000/240's that are connected by a 100-Mbps switch-based ATM LAN and a 10-Mbps Ethernet. Ou ..."

of Water from the SPLASH benchmark suite, we achieved only moderate speedups (4.0) due to the high communication and synchronization rate. Speedups decline on the 10-Mbps Ethernet (5.5 for Jacobi, 6.5 for TSP, 4.2 for Quicksort, 5.1 for ILINK, and 2.1 for Water), reflecting the bandwidth limitations
