This paper describes the design and evaluation of SAM, a shared object system for distributed memory machines. SAM is a portable run-time system that provides a global name space ...
Mobile computers such as notebooks, subnotebooks, and palmtops require low weight, low power consumption, and good interactive performance. These requirements impose many challeng...
In a distributed storage system, client caches managed on the basis of small granularity objects can provide better memory utilization then page-based caches. However, object serv...
Operating system research has endeavored to develop micro-kernels that provide modularity, reliability and security improvements over conventional monolithic kernels. However, the...
Parallel processing has been proposed as a means of improving network protocol throughput. Several different strategies have been taken towards parallelizing protocols. A relative...

Traditional le system implementations do not allow applications to control le caching replacement decisions. We have implemented two-level replacement, a scheme that allows appl...
This paper describes a pattern-based approach to building packet classifiers. One novelty of the approach is that it can be implemented efficiently in both software and hardware. ...

ent CMU Mach 3.0 microkernel exports simple timestamp and delay abstractions through host get time() and a timeout parameter to mach msg(). While this is sufficient for many purp...
This paper describes the architecture and implementation of MIKE - a version of the IK distributed persistent object-oriented programming platform built on top of the Mach microke...
