Zhuravlev et al., ‘‘Survey of Scheduling Techniques for Addressing Shared
Resources in Multicore Processors’’
Multicore systems have started to dominate the field of general-purpose com-
puting world. One of the most important challenges is shared resource contention.
In this survey, the authors present different scheduling techniques for handling
such contention.
Silberschatz et al.,
Operating System Concepts
, 9th ed.,
Chapters 3 through 6 cover processes and interprocess communication, includ-
ing scheduling, critical sections, semaphores, monitors, and classical interprocess
communication problems.
Stratton et al., ‘‘Algorithm and Data Optimization Techniques for Scaling to Mas-
sively Threaded Systems’’
Programming a system with half a dozen threads is hard enough.
But what
happens when you have thousands of them?
To say it gets tricky is to put it mildly.
This article talks about approaches that are being taken.
13.1.3 Memory Management
Denning, ‘‘Virtual Memory’’
A classic paper on many aspects of virtual memory. Peter Denning was one of
the pioneers in this field, and was the inventor of the working-set concept.
Denning, ‘‘Working Sets Past and Present’’
A good overview of numerous memory management and paging algorithms.
A comprehensive bibliography is included. Although many of the papers are old,
the principles really have not changed at all.
Knuth,
The Art of Computer Programming
, Vol. 1
First fit, best fit, and other memory management algorithms are discussed and
compared in this book.
Arpaci-Dusseau and Arpaci-Dusseaum ‘‘Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces’’
This book has a rich section on virtual memory in Chapters 12 to 23 and
includes a nice overview of page replacement policies.
13.1.4 File Systems
McKusick et al., ‘‘A Fast File System for UNIX’’
The UNIX file system was completely redone for 4.2 BSD.
This paper
describes the design of the new file system, with emphasis on its performance.

READING LIST AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
CHAP. 13
Silberschatz et al.,
Operating System Concepts
, 9th ed.,
Chapters 10–12 are about storage hardware and file systems.
They cover file
operations, interfaces, access methods, directories, and implementation, among
other topics.
Stallings,
Operating Systems
, 7th ed.,
Chapter 12 contains a fair amount of material about file systems and little bit
about their security.
Cornwell, ‘‘Anatomy of a Solid-state Drive‘‘
If you are interested in solid state drives, Michael Cornwell’s introduction is a
good starting point. In particular, the author succinctly describes the way in way
traditional hard drives and SSDs differ.
13.1.5 Input/Output
Geist and Daniel, ‘‘A Continuum of Disk Scheduling Algorithms’’
A generalized disk-arm scheduling algorithm is presented. Extensive simula-
tion and experimental results are given.
Scheible, ‘‘A Survey of Storage Options’’
There are many ways to store bits these days: DRAM, SRAM, SDRAM, flash
memory, hard disk, floppy disk, CD-ROM, DVD, and tape, to name a few. In this
article, the various technologies are surveyed and their strengths and weaknesses
highlighted.
Stan and Skadron, ‘‘Power-Aware Computing’’
Until someone manages to get Moore’s Law to apply to batteries, energy usage
is going to continue to be a major issue in mobile devices. Power and heat are so
critical these days that operating systems are aware of the CPU temperature and
adapt their behavior to it.
This article surveys some of the issues and serves as an
introduction to five other articles in this special issue of
Computer
on power-aware
computing.
Swanson and Caulfield, ‘‘Refactor, Reduce, Recycle: Restructuring the I/O Stack
for the Future of Storage’’
Disks exist for two reasons: when power is turned off, RAM loses its contents.
Also, disks are very big.
But suppose RAM did not lose its contents when pow-
ered off? How would that change the I/O stack?
Nonvolatile memory is here and
this article looks at how it changes systems.

nology,’’
