A high-performance operating system for structured concurrent programs

Published:18 October 2007Publication History

ABSTRACT

With the advent of multi-processor machines, the time has definitively come to use new programming models that offer an improved support of concurrency. While various interesting new models have been recently presented for concurrent and structured programming, no appropriate runtime systems currently exists. Therefore, we have developed our own new operating system which has been particularly optimized for high-performance execution of such programs.
