A Progress Report on DBOS: A Database-oriented Operating System
Summary: Proposes DBOS: an OS stack for hyperscale datacenters that embeds multi-core, multi-node distributed DBMSs as low-level system services to manage machines and resources. Describes architecture and implementation progress, highlighting missing DBMS capabilities and future research directions. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
