....Massalin s conclusions are based on experiments run on a 25 MHz, one wait state memory, cold cache 68030 CPU. In contrast, lock based implementations fared muchworse in a recent performance comparison of commercial real time operating systems run on a 25 MHz, zero wait state memory 80386 CPU [30]. In this comparison, the implementation of semaphores on LynxOS took 154.4 microseconds to lockandunlockasemaphore in the worst case. The corresponding figure for POSIX mutex style semaphores was 243.6 microseconds. These figures cannot be regarded as definitive because s values can vary widely ....

CHAPTER 2. THE DEPENDENCY PROTOCOL FOR UNIPROCESSORS 14 2.5 The Priority Ceiling Protocol The basic priority inheritance protocol has the following two major problems. First, a chain of blocking, which will be described in section 3.1.1, causes the same number of blocking as the number of ....

An early library implementation of prioritized preemptive threads at Brown University [14] supports various architectures including a multiprocessor and handled signals asynchronously. Lately, some commercial operating systems (e.g. LynxOS [9], SunOS [18, 22] support Pthreads by using a mixture of library and kernel implementation, while others such as Chorus [1] provide more functionality as part of the kernel. An earlier, partial implementation of Pthreads on the library level [19] was used as a base for this project. Motivation ....

The alpha release of Open OODB executes on a Sun Sparc architecture with the SunOS Unix operating system. Unfortunately, Unix has many well known deficiencies for supporting real time applications[GL91] Fortunately, the next release of Open OODB executes on the Solaris 2.3 operating system which contains many of the real time operating system features specified in the IEEE ISO POSIX real time operating system standards [IEE94] These features include shared memory, priority based scheduling ....

....we have the dispatcher, one per processor. Further, extant real time thread packages typically do not differentiate between forking a thread on a processor and performing schedulability analysis for that thread. This has been the case with some of the past work of our group [SZG91] and elsewhere [GL91] While this might have been justified in predictable environments where the periods of periodic tasks do not change dynamically, and they execute for intervals close to their worst case execution estimates. However, our thesis is that for more dynamic and uncertain environments, forking and ....

....advantage of without some user level influence over the scheduling of the related processes. With user level threads, a user can obviate these problems. Threads have long been used as a paradigm for asynchronous execution of different instruction streams. Operating systems[CJR87, TRG 87, GL91, BMR94] and simulation packages[Gru92, LWP93] have relied on threads as a model for concurrency. Threads are also useful as a model for parallel programming to take advantage of parallelization on multiprocessor machines. Using threads to increase performance on multiprocessor machines involves ....

....importance of cache memories. Results in schedulability theory provide a firm base for rate monotone scheduling, earliest deadline first scheduling, and other preemptive scheduling paradigms [LL73] This is also reflected in the increasing number of preemptive real time operating systems [GL91, Hil92]. These systems are available for a number of cached processors. Recently, it has been shown that tight predictions of the WCET of programs can be obtained even for cached systems [AMWH94, Mue94] These results were obtained under the assumption that tasks be scheduled non preemptively. This ....

Overall, the system exhibits slightly faster performance than SunOS 4.x and is considerably more predictable in its timing behavior. 1 Introduction Lately, micro kernels have often been chosen for the design of real time operating systems [8, 6, 2]. Yet, most of the systems implement a large subset of the UNIX system interface. Additional functionality of a system often degrades the timing predictability and may also contribute to more costly kernel calls. Many modern operating systems acknowledge the demand for faster, simpler programming ....
