This paper outlines the design of `Quest-V, which is implemented as a collection of separate kernels operating together as a distributed system on a chip. Quest-V uses virtualization techniques to isolate kernels and prevent local faults from affecting remote kernels. This leads to a high-confidence multikernel approach, where failures of system subcomponents do not render the entire system inoperable. A virtual machine monitor for each kernel keeps track of shadow page table mappings that control immutable memory access capabilities. This ensures a level of security and fault tolerance in situations where a service in one kernel fails, or is corrupted by a malicious attack. Communication is supported between kernels using shared memory regions for message passing. Similarly, device driver data structures are shareable between kernels to avoid the need for complex I/O virtualization, or communication with a dedicated kernel responsible for I/O. In Quest-V, device interrupts are delivered directly to a kernel, rather than via a monitor that determines the destination. Apart from bootstrapping each kernel, handling faults and managing shadow page tables, the monitors are not needed. This differs from conventional virtual machine systems in which a central monitor, or hypervisor, is responsible for scheduling and management of host resources amongst a set of guest kernels. In this paper we show how Quest-V can implement novel fault isolation and recovery techniques that are not possible with conventional systems. We also show how the costs of using virtualization for isolation of system services does not add undue overheads to the overall system performance.

Due to the increasing complexity seen in both workloads and hardware resources in state-of-the-art embedded systems, developing efficient real-time schedulers and the corresponding schedulability tests becomes rather challenging. Although close to op timal schedulability performance can be achieved for supporting simple system models in practice, adding any small complexity element into the problem context such as non-preemption or resource heterogeneity would cause significant pessimism, which may not be eliminated by any existing scheduling technique. In this paper, we present LINTS^RT, a learning-based testbed for intelligent real-time scheduling, which has the potential to handle various complexities seen in practice. The design of LINTS^RT is fundamentally motivated by AlphaGo Zero for playing the board game Go, and specifically addresses several critical challenges due to the real-time scheduling context. We first present a clean design of LINTS^RT for supporting the basic case: scheduling sporadic workloads on a homogeneous multiprocessor, and then demonstrate how to easily extend the framework to handle further complexities such as non-preemption and resource heterogeneity. Both application and OS-level implementation and evaluation demonstrate that LINTS^RT is able to achieve significantly higher runtime schedulability under different settings compared to perhaps the most commonly applied schedulers, global EDF, and RM. To our knowledge, this work is the first attempt to design and implement an extensible learning-based testbed for autonomously making real-time scheduling decisions.
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.
In this paper, we propose a synchronous protocol without periodicity for scheduling multi-mode real-time systems upon identical multiprocessor platforms. Our proposal can be considered to be a multiprocessor extension of the uniprocessor protocol called Minimal Single Offset protocol.

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.
In this ongoing work, we are interested in multiprocessor energy efficient systems, where task durations are not known in advance, but are know stochastically. More precisely, we consider global scheduling algorithms for frame-based multiprocessor st ochastic DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling) systems. Moreover, we consider processors with a discrete set of available frequencies.
