WWDC04 • Session 103

Mac OS X Kernel Programming

OS Foundation • 1:01:03

The Mac OS X Kernel changed significantly in order to provide better SMP performance, fine-grained locking, and support for 64-bit applications. In order to support those changes, and to provide a stable and efficient environment, Apple has formalized the APIs used by Kernel Extensions. These formal APIs, known as Kernel Programming Interfaces (KPIs), will be better defined and supported from release to release of the kernel. This session describes the changes that motivated the creation of KPIs, their effects on some kernel programming techniques, the introduction of KPIs into the kernel, and how they will continue to evolve.

Speakers: Simon Patience, Dean Reece
