Abstract
General purpose operating systems such as Linux are reasonably suited for managing massively parallel computing platforms made from many-core processors. However, due to limitations in organization and architecture of the system software, these sorts of operating systems are fairly unsuited for parallel execution in order to better perform on behalf of the (massively) parallel processes needed for running one or more application programs. Regarding many-core support, their functional properties are satisfactorily, however, their nonfunctional properties leave a lot to be desired. The paper touches on some of the problems discovered in reengineering critical sections of operating systems. It aims at making aware of difficulties, rather than providing solutions, in adapting system software to parallel processing.
