Abstract: Traditional operating systems are overly restrictive and do not allow user-level applications to modify operating system abstractions. The exokernel operating system architecture safely gives untrusted applications efficient control over hardware and software resources by separating management from protection. Decentralized control, however, makes it very difficult for mutually distrustful applications to share system abstractions. This thesis presents the design, implementation, and evaluation ...

...to operating system abstractions become important. While placing abstractions in a privileged domain (e.g. inside a protected method [12] or a server) provides protection, it reduces extensibility and performance. Instead, an exokernel offers two mechanisms for implementing...
