Abstract: Traditional operating systems and commodity hardware are never used to their full potential due to underlying design limitations. Applications that make use of blocking system calls incur large overheads on the operating systems and in turn end up wasting CPU resources. In addition, traditional solutions are not adequate for high-performance networking. In this report, we present a summary of the research conducted by the System Software Research Group (SSRG) at the University of Malta. We discuss some of the solutions we have developed and pinpoint their effectiveness to solve each of the above problems.
