This paper presents a dependability benchmark for general-purpose operating systems and its application to six versions of Windows operating system and four versions of Linux operating system. The benchmark measures are: operating system robustness (as regards possible erroneous inputs provided by the application software to the operating system via the application programming interface), reaction and restart times in the presence of faults. The workload is PostMark, a file system performance benchmark for operating systems.
