Abstract
Computer systems keep increasing in size. Systems scale in
the number of processing units, memories and peripheral devices.
This creates many and diverse architectural trade-offs
that the existing operating systems are not able to address.
We are designing and implementing, FenixOS, a new operating
system that aims to improve the state of the art in
scalability and reliability.
We achieve scalability through limiting data sharing when
possible, and through extensive use of lock-free data structures.
Reliability is addressed with a careful re-design of
the programming interface and structure of the operating
system.
