  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • Key-Based Self-Driven Compression in Columnar Binary JSON
    Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg Department of Computer Science Master's Thesis Key-Based Self-Driven Compression in Columnar Binary JSON Author: Oskar Kirmis November 4, 2019 Advisors: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Gunter Saake M. Sc. Marcus Pinnecke Institute for Technical and Business Information Systems / Database Research Group Kirmis, Oskar: Key-Based Self-Driven Compression in Columnar Binary JSON Master's Thesis, Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg, 2019 Abstract A large part of the data that is available today in organizations or publicly is provided in semi-structured form. To perform analytical tasks on these { mostly read-only { semi-structured datasets, Carbon archives were developed as a column-oriented storage format. Its main focus is to allow cache-efficient access to fields across records. As many semi-structured datasets mainly consist of string data and the denormalization introduces redundancy, a lot of storage space is required. However, in Carbon archives { besides a deduplication of strings { there is currently no compression implemented. The goal of this thesis is to discuss, implement and evaluate suitable compression tech- niques to reduce the amount of storage required and to speed up analytical queries on Carbon archives. Therefore, a compressor is implemented that can be configured to apply a combination of up to three different compression algorithms to the string data of Carbon archives. This compressor can be applied with a different configuration per column (per JSON object key). To find suitable combinations of compression algo- rithms for each column, one manual and two self-driven approaches are implemented and evaluated. On a set of ten publicly available semi-structured datasets of different kinds and sizes, the string data can be compressed down to about 53% on average, reducing the whole datasets' size by 20%.

This includes the general architecture and the tools necessary to deal with the architecture. It then addresses some of the security improvements that come with version 10.5 “Leopard”, the most recent version of Mac OS X. Many of these security topics will be discussed in great detail throughout this book. Basics Before we dive into the tools, techniques, and security of Mac OS X, we need to start by discussing how it is put together. To understand the details of Leopard, you need fi rst to understand how it is built, from the ground up. As depicted in Figure 1-1, Mac OS X is built as a series of layers, including the XNU kernel and the Darwin operating system at the bottom, and the Aqua interface and graphical applications on the top. The important components will be discussed in the following sections. 3 995363c01.indd5363c01.indd 3 11/25/09/25/09 44:39:27:39:27 PPMM 4 Part I ■ Mac OS X Basics Applications Safari, Mail, iCal, etc. GUI Aqua Application Environments BSD, X11, Carbon, Cocoa, AWT, Swing Libraries URL parsing, Networking, Core Audio, HTML rendering, etc. Kernel BSD (signals, sockets, etc.) Mach (virtual memory, IPC, etc.) Firmware EFI Hardware Apple hardware Figure 1-1: Basic architecture of a Mac OS X system XNU The heart of Mac OS X is the XNU kernel.
