TENEX, a paged time sharing system for the PDP - 10
TLDR
Although the implementation described here required some compromise to achieve a system operational within six months of hardware checkout, TENEX has met its major goals and provided reliable service at several sites and through the ARPA network.Abstract:
TENEX is a new time sharing system implemented on a DEC PDP-10 augmented by special paging hardware developed at BBN. This report specifies a set of goals which are important for any time sharing system. It describes how the TENEX design and implementation achieve these goals. These include specifications for a powerful multiprocess large memory virtual machine, intimate terminal interaction, comprehensive uniform file and I/O capabilities, and clean flexible system structure. Although the implementation described here required some compromise to achieve a system operational within six months of hardware checkout, TENEX has met its major goals and provided reliable service at several sites and through the ARPA network.read more

FLUSH+RELOAD: a high resolution, low noise, L3 cache side-channel attack
Yuval Yarom,Katrina Falkner +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents FLUSH+RELOAD, a cache side-channel attack technique that exploits a weakness in the Intel X86 processors to monitor access to memory lines in shared pages and recovers 96.7% of the bits of the secret key by observing a single signature or decryption round.

Properties of the working-set model
TL;DR: The independent-reference model, in which page references are statistically independent, is used to assess the effects of interpage dependencies on working-set size observations and under general assumptions, working- set size is shown to be normally distributed.
