Steal time is a key performance metric for applications executed in a virtualized environment. Steal time measures the amount of time the processor is preempted by code outside the virtualized environment. This, in turn, allows to compute accurately the execution time of an application inside a virtual machine (i.e. it eliminates the time the virtual machine is suspended). Unfortunately, this metric is only available in particular scenarios in which the host and the guest OS are tightly coupled. Typical examples are the Xen hypervisor and Linux-based guest OSes. In contrast, in scenarios where the steal time is not available inside the virtualized environment, performance measurements are, most often, incorrect. In this paper, we introduce a novel and platform agnostic approach to calculate this steal time within the virtualized environment and without the cooperation of the host OS. The theoretical execution time of a deterministic microbenchmark is compared to its execution time in a virtualized environment. When factoring in the virtual machine load, this solution -as simple as it is- can compute the steal time. The preliminary results show that we are able to compute the load of the physical processor within the virtual machine with high accuracy.

Operating system is a bridge between system and user. An operating system (OS) is a software program that manages the hardware and software resources of a computer. The OS performs basic tasks, such as controlling and allocating memory, prioritizing
the processing of instructions, controlling input and output devices, facilitating networking, and managing files. It is difficult to present a complete as well as deep account of operating systems developed till date. So, this paper tries to overview only a subset of the available operating systems and its different categories. OS are being developed by a large number of academic and commercial organizations for the last several decades. This paper, therefore, concentrates on the different categories of OS with special emphasis to those that had deep impact on the evolution process. The aim of this paper is to provide a brief timely commentary on the different categories important operating systems available today.
Rapid growth of datacenter (DC) scale, urgency of cost control, increasing workload diversity, and huge software investment protection place unprecedented demands on the operating system (OS) efficiency, scalability, performance isolation, and backwa
rd-compatibility. The traditional OSes are not built to work with deep-hierarchy software stacks, large numbers of cores, tail latency guarantee, and increasingly rich variety of applications seen in modern DCs, and thus they struggle to meet the demands of such workloads. This paper presents XOS, an application-defined OS for modern DC servers. Our design moves resource management out of the OS kernel, supports customizable kernel subsystems in user space, and enables elastic partitioning of hardware resources. Specifically, XOS leverages modern hardware support for virtualization to move resource management functionality out of the conventional kernel and into user space, which lets applications achieve near bare-metal performance. We implement XOS on top of Linux to provide backward compatibility. XOS speeds up a set of DC workloads by up to 1.6X over our baseline Linux on a 24-core server, and outperforms the state-of-the-art Dune by up to 3.3X in terms of virtual memory management. In addition, XOS demonstrates good scalability and strong performance isolation.
This note concerns a search for publications in which one can find statements that explain the concept of an operating system, reasons for introducing operating systems, a formalization of the concept of an operating system or theory about operating
systems based on such a formalization. It reports on the way in which the search has been carried out and the outcome of the search. The outcome includes not only what the search was meant for, but also some added bonuses.
This paper is a comprehensive survey of the various operating systems available for the Internet of Things environment. At first the paper introduces the various aspects of the operating systems designed for the IoT environment where resource constra
int poses a huge problem for the operation of the general OS designed for the various computing devices. The latter part of the paper describes the various OS available for the resource constraint IoT environment along with the various platforms each OS supports, the software development kits available for the development of applications in the respective OS along with the various protocols implemented in these OS for the purpose of communication and networking.
Real-time scheduling and locking protocols are fundamental facilities to construct time-critical systems. For parallel real-time tasks, predictable locking protocols are required when concurrent sub-jobs mutually exclusive access to shared resources.
This paper for the first time studies the distributed synchronization framework of parallel real-time tasks, where both tasks and global resources are partitioned to designated processors, and requests to each global resource are conducted on the processor on which the resource is partitioned. We extend the Distributed Priority Ceiling Protocol (DPCP) for parallel tasks under federated scheduling, with which we proved that a request can be blocked by at most one lower-priority request. We develop task and resource partitioning heuristics and propose analysis techniques to safely bound the task response times. Numerical evaluation (with heavy tasks on 8-, 16-, and 32-core processors) indicates that the proposed methods improve the schedulability significantly compared to the state-of-the-art locking protocols under federated scheduling.
