Abstract
A system and a method are disclosed for batch execution of system calls in an operating system. In one implementation, a processing device configures a system call batching buffer table in a user space of an operating system, the system call batching buffer table including a plurality of system call units, associates a system call number with the system call batching buffer table, and issues a trap instruction to a kernel of the operating system to execute at least one of the plurality of system call units, the trap instruction including the system call number.
