Experimental Validation of the Suitability of Virtualization-Based Replication for Fault Tolerance in Real-Time Control of Electric Grids

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Wajeb Saab, Maaz Mashood Mohiuddin

Real-time control systems (RTCSs) perform complex control and require low response times. They typically use third-party software libraries and are deployed on generic hardware, which suffer from delay faults that can cause serious damage. To improve avail ...

The IX Operating System: Combining Low Latency, High Throughput, and Efficiency in a Protected Dataplan

Edouard Bugnion, Christos Kozyrakis, Georgios Prekas, Mia Primorac

The conventional wisdom is that aggressive networking requirements, such as high packet rates for small messages and μs-scale tail latency, are best addressed outside the kernel, in a user-level networking stack. We present ix, a dataplane operating system ...
