Project Summary
Next-generation applications will impose diverse performance
requirements (with respect fo delay, throughput, etc.) on operating
systems. Current operating systems offer a single class of
``best-effort'' service to all the applications. Next-generation
operating systems can increase the overall utility of the available
resources by supporting multiple service classes and aligning services
with application needs. To achieve this objective, we are developing
processor scheduling mechanisms, I/O subsystems, as well as higher
layer protocols necessary for efficient processing and streaming of
data at the end-station.
