Software Design of A UNIX-like Kernel

Abstract
In the age of deep submicron VLSI, we can design various system applications in a single chip. In such system-on-a-chip designs, hardware and software function are integrated and managed by application-specific operating system functions. It motivates us to study design structures of current OS kernels. In this research, we applied an executable specification method for the software design of a UNIX kernel. We studied first the overall software structure of UNIX kernels. Then, we analyzed the detailed designs of process management and memory management. We applied object-oriented analysis and design techniques as well as a hierarchical state machine control design method. We will then map this design onto an executable specification framework to produce system prototype designs for collecting early experimental results and tuning application-specific kernel functionalities.
