Abstract: The Synthesis operating system kernel combines several techniques to provide high performance, including kernel code synthesis, fine-grain scheduling, and optimistic synchronization. Kernel code synthesis reduces the execution path for frequently used kernel calls. Optimistic synchronization increases concurrency within the kernel. Their combination results in significant performance improvement over traditional operating system implementations. Using hardware and software emulating a SUN 3/160 ... (Update)

...Manual specialization. In a first step, operating systems specialization has been performed manually in experiments such as Synthesis [28, 21], and Synthetix [27] Manual specialization, however, tends to compromise other system properties such as maintainability and...
...optimistic synchronisation methods can employed. Such an approach has been found to work well in the Synthesis oper95 ating system [Massalin89]. As with access to immutable data, the details of the mechanism can be hidden with a surrogate object. 5.4.4 Timed Critical Sections...
