In most modern operating systems, a process is a -protected abstraction for isolating code and data. This protection, however, is selective. Many common mechanisms—dynamic code ...
A complex software system typically has a large number of objects in the memory, holding references to each other to implement an object model. Deciding when the objects should be...
Bugs in kernel extensions remain one of the main causes of poor operating system reliability despite proposed techniques that isolate extensions in separate protection domains to ...
Miguel Castro, Manuel Costa, Jean-Philippe Martin,...
Most operating systems enforce process isolation through hardware protection mechanisms such as memory segmentation, page mapping, and differentiated user and kernel instructions....
Multimedia vector instruction sets are becoming ubiquitous in most of the embedded systems used for multimedia, networking and communications. However, current compiler technology...
