The interaction of operating systems and computer architecture: A workshop summary

The organizers of the Workshop on the Interaction of Operating Systems and Computer Architecture were motivated by two principal considerations: 1) call the attention of hardware designers to the growing maturity of the study of resource and process control algorithms; and 2) cause software system designers and implementers to focus on the developing trends and capabilities in computer architecture, and on the possibility of moving significant portions of operating systems to firmware/hardware.
