- Blocking System Calls in KRoC/Linux
- This paper describes an extension to Kent Retargetable occam Compiler KRoC, which enables the execution of a blocking call, without blocking the occam-kernel. Blocking calls are implemented using Linux clones which communicate using shared memory, and synchronise using kernel level semaphores. However, this mechanism is not limited to blocking in...
