Hot Topics in Operating Systems

HotOS XVIII program will be great! We will get to see and hear new ideas in Operating Systems research on June 1 2021. It’s been a while for me. I think it will be good time to pause and take the chance to catch up and learn about how tech advances and new applications in OS research are shaping our computational infra. I don’t know where I hear this quip, “Always bet on Linux”. lol.

I think this would get me enjoying reading papers again (PDF published by SIGOps):

• From Warm to Hot Starts: Leveraging Runtimes for the Serverless Era
• Cores That Don’t Count
• From Cloud Computing to Sky Computing ((Sky Computing, what!? Is this yet another buzzword?))
• FlexOS: Making OS Isolation Flexible
• Don’t Be a Blockhead: Zoned Namespaces Make Work on Conventional SSDs Obsolete
• Contextual Concurrency Control
• Metastable Failures in Distributed Systems
• In Reference to RPC: It’s Time to Add an Immutable Shared Address Space
• Zerializer: Towards Zero-Copy Serialization
