SnapShot: Mitochondrial Architecture

A Flexible Persistent Architecture Permitting Trade-off Between Snapshot and Recovery Times

For persistent systems to be useful they must provide efficient snapshot and recovery mechanisms. This paper describes the design of the persistence architecture of the Grasshopper operating system which addresses these requirements. It shows how the major components of the architecture interact with one another and how it can be used to provide fast snapshot and recovery times. A novel feature...

A 3D-Stacked Architecture for Secure Memory Acquisition

Many security and forensic analyses rely on the ability to fetch memory snapshots from a target machine. To date, the security community has relied on virtualization, external hardware or trusted hardware to obtain such snapshots. We show that these prior techniques either sacrifice snapshot consistency or impose a performance penalty on applications executing atop the target. We present a new ...

Discourse Structure of Software Explanation: Snapshot Theory, Cognitive Patterns and Grounded Theory Methods

This thesis introduces a grounded theory of the discourse structure that professional software engineers use while explaining software. The ‘Snapshot Theory’ relates how the snapshot is the critical moment and fundamental building block in the discourse structure. We built Snapshot Theory by applying a rigorous qualitative data analysis research methodology, known as grounded theory, on observa...
