Abstract :
We believe it is feasible to build a multi-core operating system that implements virtual memory, and honors the principles of modular software construction, using runtime software that executes a codelet program execution model. Performance and energy efficiency can be enhanced through co-design of new architecture features that replace resource management functions of runtime software with efficient hardware mechanisms. The resulting systems will offer benefits in programmability, application portability and reuse absent in current systems.
