I read the thesis, and it is incredible. Massalin developed Synthesis OS to run on Sun machines (using a 68030 if I'm not mistaken), and was able to run Sun OS executables on her OS, faster than Sun OS could run its own executables. Part of that was the specialization kept code and data close together to keep cache misses down. I just wish the code to Synthesis was available for study.
