Survey of Design Goals for Operating Systems,

摘要

The paper reports the results of a literature search on the subject,design goals for operating systems. In addition,design goals of specific operating systems are reviewed and a general set of operating system design goals is developed. Special-purpose design goals and conflicts among design goals are also discussed. Design goals,in descending order of importance,are listed for over 20computer operating systems. These include:IBM 360DOS,OS,TOS and RTOS;UNIVAC 1108 EXEC 8;Burroughs B5500MCP and B6500/7500MCP;Honeywell OS/200and OS/200Model 1E;RCA SPECTRA 70/35-45-55DOS and POS,and 70/46 TSOS;CDC 3300MASTER;NCR CENTURY 300MOS;as well as the PDP-10,COM-SHARE, ILLIAC-4, MULTICS, GECOS-3,SIGMA-7and Oregon State University OS-3operating systems.
