of the kernel abstractions and system servers and describe in detail the read() and write() paths of these two systems. We then break down their read() and write() performance and ...
Shared-memory multiprocessors are frequently used in a timesharing style with multiple parallel applications executing at the same time. In such an environment, where the machine ...
In this paper, we report on the performance of the remote procedure call implementation for the Firefly multiprocessor and analyze the implementation to account precisely for all ...
This paper reports our experiences implementing remote procedure call (RPC) protocols in the x-kernel. This exercise is interesting because the RPC protocols exploit two novel des...
