The trusted computing bases (TCBs) of applications running on today’s commodity operating systems have become extremely large. This paper presents an architecture that allows to...
This paper presents an experimental study of the latency behavior of the Linux OS. We identify major sources of latency in the kernel with the goal of providing real-time performa...
