Build a full-functioned virtual machine from scratch, when Brainfuck is used. Basic concepts about interpreter, optimizations techniques, language specialization, and platform specific tweaks.
(Presentation at COSCUP 2012) Discuss why you should try to develop your own operating system and how you can speed up by taking the microkernel approach.
Introduce Brainf*ck, another Turing complete programming language. Then, try to implement the following from scratch: Interpreter, Compiler [x86_64 and ARM], and JIT Compiler.
This presentation covers the general concepts about real-time systems, how Linux kernel works for preemption, the latency in Linux, rt-preempt, and Xenomai, the real-time extension as the dual kernel approach.
The Raspberry Pi is a series of credit card–sized single-board computers developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools.
The original Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi 2 are manufactured in several board configurations through licensed manufacturing agreements with Newark element14 (Premier Farnell), RS Components and Egoman. These companies sell the Raspberry Pi online. Egoman produces a version for distribution solely in China and Taiwan, which can be distinguished from other Pis by their red colouring and lack of FCC/CE marks. The hardware is the same across all manufacturers.
The original Raspberry Pi is based on the Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC), which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and was originally shipped with 256 megabytes of RAM, later upgraded (models B and B+) to 512 MB. The system has Secure Digital (SD) (models A and B) or MicroSD (models A+ and B+) sockets for boot media and persistent storage.
Analysis of Practicality and Performance Evaluation for Monolithic Kernel and...CSCJournals
The microkernel system (as opposite to monolithic systems) has been developed for years, with the hope that microkernels could solve the problems of other operating systems. However, the evolution of the microkernel systems did not go as many people expected. Because of faultinesses of design in system structure, the performance of the first generation of microkernel operating systems was disappointing. The overhead of the system was too high to bear for users. However, the second-generation microkernel system uses an improved design architecture that could substantially reduce the overhead in the previous microkernel systems. This project evaluates the system performance of the MINIX3.1.2a with the performance of Linux by using Unixbench system evaluating tool. In this way, it could testify whether the microkernel systems could be more flexible, portable and secure than monolithic operating systems. Unixbench could give sufficient statistics on different capacities of MINIX3 and Linux, such as system call overhead, pipe throughput, arithmetic test and so on. The result illustrates MINIX3 has better performance on Shell Scripts running and Arithmetic test and Linux has better performance on other aspects such as system call overhead, process creation and so on. Furthermore, we provide a more detailed analyze on the microkernel Minix 3 system and propose a method that we could improve the performance of the MINIX3 system.
It's a pivotal challenge to update the software in embedded systems due to many restrictions such as unreliable network and power supply, limited bandwidth, harsh environment, etc. This slide aims to provide the background knowledge and the open source tool to achieve the software update in embedded systems.
Communication takes place between user modules using message passing
Benefits:

Easier to port the operating system to new architectures
More reliable (less code is running in kernel mode)
More secure
Detriments:
Performance overhead of user space to kernel space communication

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

3. Goals of This Presentation
• Introduce L4 microkernel principles and concepts
– from “Microkernel Construction”
http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/Studium/MkK/
– From "Microkernel-based Operating Systems"
http://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/index.php?node_id=1314
• Understand the real world usage for microkernels
• Explore the modern implementation of modern L4
microkernel
6. Microkernel Concepts
• Minimal kernel and hardware enforce separation
• Only kernel runs in CPU privileged mode
• Components are user!level processes
• No restrictions on component software
• Reuse of legacy software
7. principle of least privilege (POLA)
A capability is a communicable, unforgeable token of authority. It refers to a value that
references an object along with an associated set of access rights. A user program on a
capability-based operating system must use a capability to access an object.

10. Case Study: Bugs inside big kernels
• Drivers cause 85% of Windows XP crashes.
– Michael M. Swift, Brian N. Bershad, Henry M. Levy: “Improving the
Reliability of Commodity Operating Systems”, SOSP 2003
• Error rate in Linux drivers is 3x (maximum: 10x)
– Andy Chou, Junfeng Yang, Benjamin Chelf, Seth Hallem, Dawson R.
Engler: “An Empirical Study of Operating System Errors”, SOSP 2001
• Causes for driver bugs
– 23% programming error
– 38% mismatch regarding device specification
– 39% OS-driver-interface misconceptions
– Leonid Ryzhyk, Peter Chubb, Ihor Kuz and Gernot Heiser: “Dingo:
Taming device drivers”, EuroSys 2009

12. Microkernel
• Minimalist approach
– IPC, virtual memory, thread scheduling
• Put the rest into user space
– Device drivers, networking, file system, user interface
• Disadvantages
– Lots of system calls and context switches
• Examples: Mach, L4, QNX, MINIX, IBM K42
17. 3 Generations of Microkernel
• Mach (1985-1994)
– replace pipes with IPC (more general)
– improved stability (vs monolithic kernels)
– poor performance
• L3 & L4 (1990-2001)
– order of magnitude improvement in IPC performance
• written in assembly, sacrificed CPU portability
• only synchronus IPC (build async on top of sync)
– very small kernel: more functions moved to userspace
• seL4, Fiasco.OC, Coyotos, NOVA (2000-)
– platform independence
– verification, security, multiple CPUs, etc.
21. L4 API vs. ABI
• L4 project was originally established by Jochen
Liedtke in the 1990s and is actively researched by the
L4Ka team at the University of Karlsruhe in
collaboration with NICTA / University of New South
Wales and the Dresden University of Technology.
• L4 is defined by a platform-independent1 API and a
platform-dependent ABI
32. Apply Fiasco.OC for ARM
• Mission: To implement a software stack that allows the
emulation of the mobile operating system to use the
functionality of hardware protection mechanisms
• Essential components
– ARM TrustZone extension
– Fiasco.OC microkernel
– Android
33. ARM TrustZone
• ARM’s processor extension that allows for a software
TPM implementation
• Available on all major ARM mobile phone SoC
• There is limited open source development with
TrustZone
34. ARM TrustZone: Application Examples
• Secure PIN Entry
• Digital Rights Management
• e-Ticketing Mobile TV (Netflix)
35. Trust Platform Module (TPM)
• A TPM is a chip that resides on the motherboard, and
provides 4 basic functionalities
– Secure storage and reporting of platform
configurations
– Protected private key storage
– Cryptographic functions
– Initialization and management functions
36. System Overview
The highest part of the stack will
be a program we write that uses
TrustZone’s TPM features
Application will make
TrustZone calls to the
microkernel
37. TPM Design Goals
• use the secure world to provide two TPM services:
– Random Number Generation
– RSA Key Generation
• An Android application will be able to use the TPM
services provided and will be able to perform the
following tasks:
– encrypt sensitive data using the secure world
– decrypt sensitive data using the secure world
