Abstract:

This thesis proposes a prototypical design for an L4 compatible microkernel for symmetric multiprocessors. In particular a cross processor operation facility based on proxy threads is proposed. The proxy thread thereby - triggered by a combined polling and IPI mechanism - performs the cross processor operation locally on the destination CPU. A cross processor IPC path was implemented on this proxy thread concept.
