N2 - In the context of high-end computing systems, general-purpose operating systems impose overhead on the applications they support due to unneeded services. Although dedicated operating systems overcome this issue, they are difficult to develop or adapt. In this paper, we propose a framework, based on the component programming paradigm, which supports the development and adaptation of such operating systems. This framework makes possible the a la carte construction of operating systems which provide specific high-end computing system characteristics.
