TLDR
This book presents the nature and characteristics of modern-day operating systems clearly and completely, and serves as both a basic reference and an up-to-date survey of the state of the art.Abstract:
Serving as both a basic reference and an up-to-date survey of the state of the art, this book covers the concepts, structure, and mechanisms of operating systems. Stallings presents the nature and characteristics of modern-day operating systems clearly and completely. Updated treatment of Windows as a case study to cover Windows Vista. Online animations with references incorporated throughout. A new chapter on Embedded Operating Systems. Part Six (Distributed Systems and Security) moved online, reducing the cost and size of the book without loss of content. Expanded coverage of security. New figures added, with many existing figures updated to enhance clarity. A useful reference for programmers, systems engineers, network designers and others involved in the design of computer products, information system and computer system personnel.read more

Dissertation
Model Checking Systems with Replicated Components using CSP
TL;DR: A sound abstraction method is demonstrated that extends standard counter abstraction techniques to systems that make full use of node identifiers (in specifications and implementations) and concludes that if the abstract model satisfies Spec(T), then the answer to the uniform verification problem is positive.

Operating Systems and Virtualization Frameworks: From Local to Distributed Similarities
Flavien Quesnel,Adrien Lebre +1 more
TL;DR: This article focuses on the management of processes and VMs, first at the node level and then on a cluster scale, and advocates that virtualization frameworks can benefit from lessons learnt from distributed operating system proposals.

Dynamic threshold for imbalance assessment on load balancing for multicore systems
TL;DR: The introduction of multicore microprocessors has enabled smaller organizations to invest in high performance shared memory parallel systems but these systems ship with standard operating systems using preset thresholds for task imbalance assessment to activate load balancing, which will unnecessarily trigger task migrations when the number of tasks is a few multiples of thenumber of processing cores.

Building a Multi-kernel Embedded System with High Performance IPC Mechanism
Jing Chen,Da-Wei Chang,Chung-Ping Young,Guan-Ying Huang,Su-Lin Chu,Chung-Yuan Ke,Shih-Tun Yen,Tsang-Shuo Kuo +7 more
TL;DR: The experience and some preliminary results from building a multi-kernel embedded system with high performance Inter-Process Communication (IPC) mechanism for application software running on the platform of a newly developed multi-core SOC, namely PAC Duo SOC, which is the latest product from the PAC (short for Parallel Architecture Core) Project implemented at Industry Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan.
Easy-to-Use On-The-Fly Binary Program Acceleration on Many-Cores
Marvin Damschen,Christian Plessl +1 more
TL;DR: Binary Acceleration At Runtime (BAAR) as discussed by the authors is an easy-to-use on-the-fly binary acceleration mechanism which aims to tackle the problem of enabling existent software to automatically utilize accelerators at runtime.
