AM $^3$ : Towards A Hardware Unix Accelerator for Many-Cores

This article advocates the use of new architectural features commonly found in many-cores to replace the machine model underlying Unix-like operating systems. We present a general Abstract Many-core Machine Model (AM $^3$ ), a proof-of-concept implementation and first evaluation results in the context of an emerging many-core, hardware multi-threaded architecture without support for interrupts.
