Binary Rewriting and Automatic Code Compaction of an OS Kernel
Professor Saumya Debray
UA Computer Science
The talk will discuss our work on reducing the memory footprint of
general purpose operating system kernels (we use Linux as an example)
for use in embedded systems. We'll begin with a discussion of binary
rewriting and some of the peculiar challenges of applying it to an OS
kernel. The talk will discuss how we address these challenges and
present experimental results. Finally, I'll talk about some of our
ongoing research on this topic.
About the speaker:

Arizona. His research interests are in programming language
implementation, specifically in binary rewriting and its applications
to systems software optimization, software security, and malware
analysis. He received his B. Tech in Electronics Engg from IIT
Kharagpur (India), in 1981; and his PhD in Computer science from SUNY
Stony Brook in 1986. He has been on the Computer Science faculty at
UA since 1986.
