| Sumario: | This book describes the Alpha kernel -- a set of mechanisms that support the construction of reliable, modular, decentralized operating systems for real-time control applications. The Alpha kernel incorporates a number of carefully integrated, modern techniques such as: decentralized management of global system (not just local node) resources; kernel level support for atomic transactions and replication; object orientation; judicious exploitation of hardware support; and strict exclusion of policy from the kernel mechanisms. To these, Alpha also adds the use of application-derived time constraints (e.g., deadlines) and relative importance attributes for managing resources to achieve optimal responsiveness and utility for its clients. |
