Matching operating systems to application needs: a case study

Authors Info & Claims
Published:12 September 1994Publication History

ABSTRACT

The increasing complexity of current computer systems has generated new requirements for advanced monitoring and debugging support. This is particularly true for real-time and distributed applications. In this paper, we present new kernel support for monitoring and debugging tools, within the CHORUS micro-kernel architecture. The highlights of the support are its modularity, the use of an upcall mechanism, and a flexible extendable object oriented interface.
