A procedure for multimicroprocessor system testing during development

A little investigation would show clear advantages of more than one processor for many applications. From the other side, difficulties exist in prototype testing during design and development. This article describes a test strategy useful in multimicroprocessor system testing, using only one in-circuit emulator, together with test programs, which are described in detail.     

操作系统灵活内核技术

在可扩展操作系统研究中存在两种途径,但这两种途径都存在明显的缺陷.在对这些问题研究的基础上,提出了灵活内核技术,它改变以往可扩展操作系统的研究思路,不仅仅支持通过系统扩展软件对系统进行扩展,而且允许动态配置扩展软件的运行位置,从而使得系统在获得了更强扩展特性的同时,在其它一些性能方面也得到了改善.进一步讨论了灵活内核技术实现的一般性问题,并以Elastos操作系统为例进行了说明.     

A dynamic associative memory system by adopting an amygdala model

Although several kinds of computational associative memory models and emotion models have been proposed since the last century, the interaction between memory and emotion is almost always neglected in these conventional models. This study constructs a dynamic memory system, named the amygdala-hippocampus model, which intends to realize dynamic auto-association and the mutual association of time-series patterns more naturally by adopting an emotional factor, i.e., the functional model of the amygdala given by Morén and Balkenius. The output of the amygdala is designed to control the recollection state of multiple chaotic neural networks (MCNN) in CA3 of the hippocampus-neocortex model proposed in our early work. The efficiency of the proposed association system is verified by computer simulation using several benchmark time-series patterns. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008

Performance considerations for an operating system transactionmanager

Results of a previous comparison study (A. Kumar and M. Stonebraker, 1987) between a conventional transaction manager and an operating system (OS) transaction manager indicated that the OS transaction manager incurs a severe performance penalty and appears to be feasible only in special circumstances. Three approaches for enhancing the performance of an OS transaction manager are considered. The first strategy is to improve performance by reducing the cost of lock acquisition and by compressing the log. The second strategy explores the possibility of still further improvements from additional semantics to be built into an OS transaction system. The last strategy is to use a modified index structure that makes update operations less expensive to perform. The results show that the OS will have to implement essentially all of the specialized tactics for transaction management that are currently used by a database management system (DBMS) in order to match DBMS performance     

A model of a virtual memory system

Summary We present a queueing network model of a virtual memory computer system including the effect of memory sharing among processes. Page fault and file request system overheads are explicitly taken into account. The fact that some memory pages have to be saved in the secondary memory at the moment of a page fault, is also taken into consideration. We obtain an approximate solution using an equivalence and decomposition approach. The effect of system and program behavior parameters (primary memory size, drum and disk characteristics, program locality, input-output rates and different pages ratios) as well as that of the total number of processes, are examined for two different system organizations. In the first one, all the processes share real core; in the second, processes having issued a file request lose their memory space until the I/O is performed.     

Shared memory consistency models: a tutorial

The memory consistency model of a system affects performance, programmability, and portability. We aim to describe memory consistency models in a way that most computer professionals would understand. This is important if the performance-enhancing features being incorporated by system designers are to be correctly and widely used by programmers. Our focus is consistency models proposed for hardware-based shared memory systems. Most of these models emphasize the system optimizations they support, and we retain this system-centric emphasis. We also describe an alternative, programmer-centric view of relaxed consistency models that describes them in terms of program behavior, not system optimizations

Towards an immortal operating system in virtual environments

Many OS crashes are caused by bugs in kernel extensions or device drivers while the OS itself may have been tested rigorously. To make an OS immortal we must resurrect the OS from these crashes. We present a novel OS-hypervisor infrastructure that allows automated and transparent OS crash diagnosis and recovery in a virtual environment. This infrastructure eliminates the need for reboots or checkpoint-restart mechanisms, which require preserving the states of critical applications before the crash happens and also require extensive modifications to those applications. At the core of our approach is a small hidden OS-repair-image that is dynamically created from the healthy running OS instance. When an OS crashes, the hypervisor dynamically loads this repair-image to perform diagnosis and repair. One way of repair we have experimented with, is to quarantine the offending process and resume the running of the fixed OS automatically without a reboot. Experimental evaluations demonstrated that it takes less than 3 s to recover from an OS crash. This approach can significantly reduce the downtime and maintenance costs in data centers, and is the first design and implementation of an OS-hypervisor combo capable of automatically resurrecting a crashed commercial server-OS. In addition to online diagnosis and recovery, this infrastructure can also be used for offline diagnosis and can be incorporated into the technical support tools of the OS vendor. Additionally, we have used parts of this infrastructure to speed-up the diagnosis of AIX OS-crashes for the IBM technical support teams.     

Emulating an operating system on top of another

In this paper, we present the design of an operating-system emulator. This software interface provides the services of one operating system (Oberon) on a machine running a different operating system (Macintosh), by mapping the functions of the first onto equivalent calls to the second. The construction of this emulator proceeded in four distinct phases, documented here through examples from each of these phases. We believe that our four-phase approach can be beneficial whenever a larger software system needs to be adapted from one architecture onto another. In conclusion, we relate some of the lessons learned and propose guidelines for similar engineering projects.     

MROS-68K,a memory resident operating system,for MC68000

The operating system described has been designed and implemented for use in dedicated one-purpose applications, typically in real tihe. Specific attention has been paid to flexible intertask contkol. In the first installation the application system was the steering and controlling of large hydraulic devices. Typical subtasks involved were measuring, coordinate transformations, control, teaching and following robotic paths and evaluating daily material transfkrs. As a programming effort, developing the operating system was fairly reasonable being of the order of three or four months for one person, including design, coding, testing and documentation.
