  • Abstract:

    The use of a stub code generator can greatly reduce the effort required to implement a multi-server system on top of a microkernel. However, stub code has traditionally been highly generic and therefore rather slow, which has prevented it from being used in performance-critical applications. In this work, we show that this restriction can be eliminated by specialization for the underlying platform.
