Quotations
44 ;;Quote: huge operating systems with poor fault isolation; any statement can overwrite key data structures of unrelated components
45 ;;Quote: Nooks wraps a device driver in a lightweight protection domain; copies kernel objects and checks parameters
46 ;;Quote: recovery by restarting a device driver; most problems are rare or due to timing
48 ;;Quote: inter-process communication for user-mode drivers by fixed-length messages and synchronous rendezvous; pending interrupt bitmap; less than 10% penalty
49 ;;Quote: Sing# has formal message passing semantics; all processes run in one virtual address space without overwriting data; avoids kernel traps and context switches
49 ;;Quote: Sing# sends strongly typed messages over bidirectional channels; a state machine defines the channel's protocol
