The Duality of Memory and Communication in the Implementation of a Multiprocessor Operating System
- In Proceedings of the 11th ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles
, 1987
"... Mach is a multiprocessor operating system being implemented at Carnegie-Mellon University. An important component of the Mach design is the use of memory objects which can be managed either by the kernel or by user programs through a message interface. This feature allows applications such as transa ..."

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 ..."

. Our objective is to determine the efficiency of a user-level DSM implementation on commercially available workstations and operating systems. We achieved good speedups on the 8-processor ATM network for Jacobi (7.4), TSP (7.2), Quicksort (6.3), and ILINK (5.7). For a slightly modified version
Exokernel: An Operating System Architecture for Application-Level Resource Management
, 1995
"... We describe an operating system architecture that securely multiplexes machine resources while permitting an unprecedented degree of application-specific customization of traditional operating system abstractions. By abstracting physical hardware resources, traditional operating systems have signifi ..."

Aegis operations are 10–100 times faster than Ultrix,a mature monolithic UNIX operating system. ExOS implements processes, virtual memory, and inter-process communication abstractions entirely within a library. Measurements show that ExOS’s application-level virtual memory and IPC primitives are 5
The Stanford FLASH multiprocessor
- In Proceedings of the 21st International Symposium on Computer Architecture
, 1994
"... The FLASH multiprocessor efficiently integrates support for cache-coherent shared memory and high-performance message passing, while minimizing both hardware and software overhead. Each node in FLASH contains a microprocessor, a portion of the machine’s global memory, a port to the interconnection n ..."

The sprite network operating system
- 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 ..."

A Methodology for Implementing Highly Concurrent Data Objects
, 1993
"... A concurrent object is a data structure shared by concurrent processes. Conventional techniques for implementing concurrent objects typically rely on critical sections: ensuring that only one process at a time can operate on the object. Nevertheless, critical sections are poorly suited for asynchro ..."

for asynchronous systems: if one process is halted or delayed in a critical section, other, nonfaulty processes will be unable to progress. By contrast, a concurrent object implementation is lock free if it always guarantees that some process will complete an operation in a finite number of steps, and it is wait
Synchronization and Communication in the T3E Multiprocessor
, 1996
"... This paper describes the synchronization and communication primitives of the Cray T3E multiprocessor, a shared memory system scalable to 2048 processors. We discuss what we have learned from the T3D project (the predecessor to the T3E) and the rationale behind changes made for the T3E. We include pe ..."

Implementing Global Memory Management in a Workstation Cluster
"... Advances in network and processor technology have greatly changed the communication and computational power of local-area workstation clusters. However, operating systems still treat workstation clusters as a collection of loosely-connected processors, where each workstation acts as an autonomous an ..."

Our objective is to use a single, unified, but distributed memory management algorithm at the lowest level of the operating system. By managing memory globally at this level, all system- and higher-level software, including VM, file systems
Implementation issues for the Psyche multiprocessor operating system
- Computing Systems

In addition, the Psyche implementation effort is addressing a host of systems issues for large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors, including remote access to kernel data structures; the organization of kernel address maps; the design of appropriate synchronization and scheduling mechanisms; user
Efficient Synchronization on Multiprocessors with Shared Memory
- ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems
, 1986
"... A new formalism is given for read-modify-write (RMW) synchronization operations. This formalism is used to extend the memory reference combining mechanism, introduced in the NYU Ultracomputer, to arbitrary RMW operations. A formal correctness proof of this combining mechanism is given. General requi ..."
