The x-Kernel: An Architecture for Implementing Network Protocols

by Norman C. Hutchinson, Larry L. Peterson - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 1991
"... This paper describes a new operating system kernel, called the x-kernel, that provides an explicit architecture for constructing and composing network protocols. Our experience implementing and evaluating several protocols in the x-kernel shows that this architecture is both general enough to acc ..."

Tor: The secondgeneration onion router,”

by Roger Dingledine - in 13th USENIX Security Symposium. Usenix, , 2004
"... Abstract We present Tor, a circuit-based low-latency anonymous communication service. This second-generation Onion Routing system addresses limitations in the original design by adding perfect forward secrecy, congestion control, directory servers, integrity checking, configurable exit policies, an ..."

The sprite network operating system

by John K. Ousterhout, Andrew R. Cherenson, Frederick Douglis, Michael N. Nelson, Brent B. Welch - IEEE Computer , 1988
"... Sprite is a new operating system for networked uniprocessor and multiprocessor workstations with large physical memories. It implements a set of kernel calls much like those of 4.3 BSD UNIX, with extensions to allow processes on the same workstation to share memory and to allow processes to migrate ..."

The Spring Kernel: A New Paradigm for Real-Time Systems

by John A. Stankovic, Krithi Ramamritham - IEEE Software , 1991
"... Next generation real-time systems will require greater flexibility and predictability than is commonly found in today's systems. These future systems include the space sta-tion, integrated vision/robotics/AI systems, collections of humans/robots coordinating to achieve common objectives (usuall ..."

(usually in hazardous environments such as undersea explo-ration or chemical plants), and various command and control applications. The Spring kernel is a research oriented kernel designed to form the basis of a flexible, hard real-time operating system for such applications. Our approach challenges

MagPIe: MPI’s Collective Communication Operations for Clustered Wide Area Systems

by Thilo Kielmann, Rutger F. H. Hofman, Henri E. Bal, Aske Plaat, Raoul A. F. Bhoedjang - Proc PPoPP'99 , 1999
"... Writing parallel applications for computational grids is a challenging task. To achieve good performance, algorithms designed for local area networks must be adapted to the differences in link speeds. An important class of algorithms are collective operations, such as broadcast and reduce. We have d ..."
Abstract - Cited by 172 (27 self) - Add to MetaCart
developed MAGPIE, a library of collective communication operations optimized for wide area systems. MAGPIE's algorithms send the minimal amount of data over the slow wide area links, and only incur a single wide area latency. Using our system, existing MPI applications can be run unmodified

Distributed Process Groups in the V Kernel
