Sharing and protection in a single-address-space operating system

by Jeffrey S. Chase, Henry M. Levy, Michael J. Feeley, Edward D. Lazowska - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1994
"... This article explores memory sharing and protection support in Opal, a single-address-space operating system designed for wide-address (64-bit) architectures. Opal threads execute within protection domains in a single shared virtual address space. Sharing is simplified, because addresses are context ..."

Sharing and Protection in a Single Address Space Operating System

by Jeffrey S. Chase, Henry M. Levy, Michael J. Feeley, Edward D. Lazowska , 1994
"... The appearance of 64-bit address space architectures, such as the DEC Alpha, HP PA-RISC, and MIPS R4000, signals a radical shift in the amount of address space available to operating systems and applications. This shift provides the opportunity to reexamine fundamental operating system structure ..."

The Amoeba Distributed Operating System

by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, Gregory J. Sharp, De Boelelaan A , 1992
"... INTRODUCTION Roughly speaking, we can divide the history of modern computing into the following eras: d 1970s: Timesharing (1 computer with many users) d 1980s: Personal computing (1 computer per user) d 1990s: Parallel computing (many computers per user) Until about 1980, computers were huge, e ..."

people's computers or share files in various (often ad hoc) ways. Nowadays some systems have many processors per user, either in the form of a parallel computer or a large collection of CPUs shared by a small user community. Such systems are usually called parallel or distributed computer systems

The Protection of Information in Computer Systems

by Jerome H. Saltzer, Michael D. Schroeder , 1975
"... This tutorial paper explores the mechanics of protecting computer-stored information from unauthorized use or modification. It concentrates on those architectural structures--whether hardware or software--that are necessary to support information protection. The paper develops in three main sections ..."
