Permission-Based Dynamically Tunable Operating System Kernel

摘要

A server includes a central processing unit and electronic memory communicatively coupled to the central processing unit. The memory stores a dynamically tunable operating system kernel that includes at least one tunable implemented as a plurality of states. Each application managed by the operating system is assigned to one of these states according to a permission level association with the application. Each state defines a range of automated tuning of the tunable that is authorized to applications assigned to the state.
