A sledgehammer approach to reuse of legacy device drivers
Device drivers account for the majority of an operating system’s code base, and reuse of the existing driver infrastructure is a pragmatic requirement of any new OS project. New...

TwinDrivers: semi-automatic derivation of fast and safe hypervisor network drivers from guest OS drivers
In a virtualized environment, device drivers are often run inside a virtual machine (VM) rather than in the hypervisor, for reasons of safety and reduction in software engineering...

Fault isolation for device drivers
This work explores the principles and practice of isolating low-level device drivers in order to improve OS dependability. In particular, we explore the operations drivers can per...
