4Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Abstraction
Mach?
Simply known as abbreviation of “Machine”
Or Unit of Speed.
5Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Abstraction
Mach!
Multi-UserCommunication
Kernel
6Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Abstraction
Mach!
CommunicationKernel
MultiProcessor Universal
7Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Abstraction
Mach!
M.U.C.K
Mach!
Just Mispronounced for Developer
8Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Abstraction
Mach
Developed at Carnegie Mellon University in 1985
Replacement for the traditional UNIX Kernel
MicroKernel
Support for MultiProcessor
Capability-based IPC
Mach 3.0 was developed officially until 1994
But still develop in nowadays
– Mac OS X, GNU Hurd….
10Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Information
Kernel
Kernel Mode(Privilege Mode)
User Mode(Non-Privilege Mode)
11Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Traditional UNIX System Monolithic Kernel – The Big Kernel
12Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Traditional UNIX System Monolithic Kernel – The Big Kernel
Problem The Role of Kernel is very important If there are problems in Kernel, What happen?
13Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
MicroKernel - The Small Kernel Only Leave necessary feature for System Operation
Basic IPC, Thread Management etc..
14Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Comparision Monolithic Kernel & MicroKernel
17Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Tanenbaum / Torvalds Debates
- Monolithic Kernel ( L.Torvalds ) - Micro Kernel ( A.Tanenbaum )
19Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Mach Computing Environment
20Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Mach Architecture
Process Management
InterProcess Communication
Memory Management
21Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Task & Thread
Task : A Collection of System Resource Thread : A Basic Unit Of Computation
22Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Multi-Tasking & Multi-Threading
23Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Process Management On Mach Two Kinds of Thread State
Running Suspended
24Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Process Management On Mach Two Kinds of Thread State
Priority Number : For Scheduling Suspend Count : For Synchronization
Thread ThreadCount Count
Num Num
25Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Process Management On Mach Difficulty
Finding the Available Processor is Difficult Context Switching in Multiprocessor system is Wasteful
Solution Varies the size of the time quantum inversely
– Hold the Thread`s state!
26Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Interprocess Communication Port
Protected, Bounded queue Message pass through this.
27Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Interprocess Communication in Mach All Object in Mach is Transparent for users
Location Independent.
NetMsgServer– Located in user mode– Capability-based Deamon– Enable Transparancy of IPC
28Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Interprocess Communication Message Interchange
29Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Memory Management Virtual Memory
Combine the address For Storage Limitation of
Physical Memory
30Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Memory Management On Mach Allocate / Deallocate Regions of Virtual Memory
With Copy On Write
Set the Protection on Regions of Virtual Memory
Specify the inheritance of regions of Virtual Memory
31Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Memory Management On Mach Copy On Write (COW)
Back up the data & modify the temp data
32Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Memory Management On Mach Pager
The Ability to handle the page faults & page-related Data
Combined with File system, when implement a file in Memory
33Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Base Knowledge
Virtual Memory Implementation in Mach
Page Size can be defined for each Section
35Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Conclusion
Mach : The 1st genaration MicroKernel-based OS Multiprocessor operation Transparent extension through Network Server User-level Server Flexible Virtual Memory Management Portability
But highly conflict with IPC Performance Problem 50% slower than Monolithic Kernel-based OS
36Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Opinion
Despite of Failure, the idea of paper is good enough to : Design Low Power Super Computer Design Cloud Computing
Researching about MicroKernel 2nd Gen MicroKernel ( L4 Kernel ) Various OS based on MicroKernel
GNU Hurd, OSF/1, Darwin etc..
37Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Opinion
Super Computer with Raspberry PI? Research on University of Southampton
Maybe Karl`s Work with SRP?
38Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Achievement of This Period
Understanding Basic Structure of Operating System Finished the Book volume 1 : Mint64OS
Boot Loader Kernel Management Device Recognition Etc…
Of Course, Reminding is more important!
Read the Paper of Microkernel
39Computer Systems and Platforms Lab
Future work of This semester
Understanding about Distributed OS If Possible, Learn About L4 MicroKernel
Finish to make Mint64OS
This Semester`s Class Compiler (Undergraduate) Real Time System (Graduate)
