Project Description

This project is focused on the the development of microkernel-based environments to support parallel applications. The main goal consists of finding the best place to take scheduling decisions in order to get the best performance. We address issues such as processor and physical memory dynamic hardware partitioning, memory conscious scheduling and event notifications to user-level. Policies are located at user-level servers and the kernel mechanisms are tunable by the different applications.
