- A Caching Model of Operating System Kernel Functionality: Stanford Cache Kernel, supervisor-mode component of V++ OS; caches system objects (threads, address spaces) to raise performance; microkernel alternative, performance equals normal monolithic OSs, yet gives application-level control of system resources, more modularity, scalability, smaller size, means of fault containment.
- BITS: The Component Based Operating System: based on describing system resources as independent components, lets applications implement their own abstractions, define their own protection schemes, participate in `resource` management.
- Extensible Operating Systems: Brief description, and on-site links to descriptions of Choices, Exokernel, GLUnix, VINO, SPIN.
- Extensible Operating Systems: Short, annotated, alphabetically sorted list and links, part of larger system.
- Open Kernel Environment: OKE: Lets non-root users load native, fully optimized code in kernels. OKE Corral: active network environment, lets 3rd-party code manage code organization at any level of nodes. LEGO-like model from MIT Click router. Description, papers, release page, contacts. [Open Source, GPL]
- SPIN: Dynamically extensible, Exokernel-based, provides many core services: scheduler, kernel threads, domains, event dispatcher, security mechanisms, primitive VM operations. Blurs distinction between kernels and applications, which traditionally live in user-level address spaces, separated from kernel resources and services by an expensive protection boundary. Lets applications specialize the kernel by dynamically linking new code into running systems.
- SPIN: Extensibility, Safety, and Performance in the SPIN Operating System: Presents an extensible OS based on MIT Exokernel that can be dynamically specialized to meet the needs of individual applications.
- Synthetix: Extensible technology for adaptive systems: researching tools, techniques to incrementally specialize OSs to optimize performance, meta-programming languages to let applications declare specialization needs to OSs, and to specialize distributed systems to enhance survivability via code diversity and specialized response to intrusion.
- Using Kernel Extensions to Decrease the Latency of User-Level Communication Primitives: Suggests solving networking and distributed systems latency via operating system extensibility; University of New Mexico Technical Report.
- VINO: Extensible OS, high reusability and modularity, application-directed kernel policy, universal `resource` interface, take no usual solutions for granted (question everything): software and postscript downloads.
