Abstract

CPUs consume too much power. Modern complex cores sometimes waste power on functions that are not useful for the code they run. In particular, operating system kernels do not benefit from many power-consuming features intended to improve application performance. We advocate asymmetric single-ISA multicore systems, in which some cores are optimized to run OS code at greatly improved energy efficiency.

Using Asymmetric Single-ISA CMPs to Save Energy on Operating Systems

Recommendations

Power-aware operating systems for interactive systems

Many portable systems deploy operating systems (OS) to support versatile functionality and to manage resources, including power. This paper presents a new approach for using OS to reduce the power consumption of IO devices in interactive systems. Low-...
Teaching operating systems and machine architecture—more on the hands-on laboratory approach
Proceedings of the 12th SIGCSE symposium on Computer science education

The “hands-on” laboratory approach to teaching operating systems has been used at West Virginia University since August 1971 [3, 6, 8]. In 1977 a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP-11/34 system replaced the IBM 1130 system previously used for the ...
A study on asymmetric operating systems on symmetric multiprocessors
EUC'07: Proceedings of the 2007 international conference on Embedded and ubiquitous computing

This paper proposes a technique to achieve asymmetric multiple OSes environment for symmetric multiprocessors. The system has a host OS and guest OSes: L4 microkernel and their servers run as the host OS, and modified Linux runs as the guest OS. OS ...
