• FlexSC: Flexible System Call Scheduling with Exception-Less System Calls (2010, background): “Recently, both Corey and Factored Operating System (fos) have proposed dedicating cores for specific operating system functionality [24, 25].”
• An Analysis of Linux Scalability to Many Cores (2010, background): “[11, 15, 53]) could apply equally well to Linux, improving its absolute performance and benefiting certain applications.”
• An operating system for multicore and clouds: mechanisms and implementation (2010, methodology): “This approach allows fos to move significant memory management and scheduling logic into userland space.”
• The multikernel: a new OS architecture for scalable multicore systems (2009, background): “As a result, it is a distinct possibility that future operating systems will have to handle non-coherent memory [12,49,69], or will be able to realize substantial performance gains by bypassing the cache-coherence protocol [70].”
