TLDR
In this article, several operating system services are examined with a view toward their applicability to support of database management functions, including buffer pool management, file system, scheduling, process management, and interprocess communication.Abstract:
Several operating system services are examined with a view toward their applicability to support of database management functions. These services include buffer pool management; the file system; scheduling, process management, and interprocess communication; and consistency control.read more

Finite automata for evaluating testbed resource contention
TL;DR: This research proposes a formal testbed abstraction and contention model grounded from automata theory that combines self-organization, dynamic resource allocation, partition, virtual- ization and scheduling for performance load and utilization prediction.
Dissertation
The design and implementation of a prototype exokernel operating system
TL;DR: This thesis motivates the need for a new operating system structure, provides a set of precepts to guide its design, discusses general issues that exokernels must deal with in multiplexing physical hardware, and describes and measures a prototype exokernel system.

Attribute-Level Versioning: A Relational Mechanism for Version Storage and Retrieval
TL;DR: A new, distinct storage and retrieval mechanism will enable analysts to efficiently store, analyze, and retrieve the attribute versions without unnecessary complexity or additional alterations of the original or derived dataset schemas.

Zeus: An object-oriented distributed operating system for reliable applications
James C. Browne,James E. Dutton,Vincent Fernandes,Annette S. Palmer,Jonathan Silverman,Anand Tripathi,Pong-Sheng Wang +6 more
TL;DR: The Zeus design is an object-oriented distributed operating system designed to study integration of recovery mechanisms into the designs of distributed command and control systems and to evaluate the performance and the correctness of the recovery mechanisms for these functions.

On Selected Performance Issues of Data Base Systems
TL;DR: Specific performance problems of centralized ‘conventional’ DBMSs, DB/DC systems, andDBMSs for ‘nonstandard’ applications are discussed and some aspects and mechanisms how database management system performance could be controlled and improved by measurement/monitoring techniques and subsequent adaption of DB-schema design are discussed.

The UNIX time-sharing system
Dennis M. Ritchie,Ken Thompson +1 more
TL;DR: The nature and implementation of the file system and of the user command interface are discussed, including the ability to initiate asynchronous processes and over 100 subsystems including a dozen languages.

The design and implementation of INGRES
TL;DR: The currently operational (March 1976) version of the INGRES database management system is described in this article, which gives a relational view of data, supports two high level nonprocedural data sublanguages, and runs as a collection of user processes on top of the UNIX operating system for Digital Equipment Corporation PDP 11/40, 11/45, and 11/70 computers.

Organization and maintenance of large ordered indices
Rudolf Bayer,E. McCreight +1 more
TL;DR: The index organization described allows retrieval, insertion, and deletion of keys in time proportional to logk I where I is the size of the index and k is a device dependent natural number such that the performance of the scheme becomes near optimal.

On the duality of operating system structures
Hugh C. Lauer,Roger M. Needham +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that these two categories are duals of each other and that a system which is constructed according to one model has a direct counterpart in the other, and the principal conclusion is that neither model is inherently preferable.
