Abstract: When user-level threads are built on top of traditional kernel threads, they can exhibit poor performance or even incorrect behavior in the face of blocking kernel operations such as I/O, page faults, and processor preemption. This problem can be solved by building user-level threads on top of a new kernel entity, the scheduler activation. The goal of the effort described in this paper was to implement scheduler activations in the Mach 3.0 operating system. We describe the design decisions... (Update)
