Abstract:

An accelerated operating system can increase the data processing throughput of a data processor executing an application according to a sequential programming model. An application running on a main data processor is interfaced to an operating system which has been accelerated by distributing at least some of the operating system among a plurality of subordinate data processors which provide data processing support for the application running on the main data processor. The subordinate data processors can thus also provide operating system support for the application running on the main data processor. This decreases the processing burden on the main data processor, thereby increasing the main data processor's data processing throughput while executing the application.
