AMOS, which stands for Active Memory Operating System, was an experimental operating system developed at the University of Maryland. It aimed to provide a database-centric approach to operating systems, integrating database functionality directly into the OS kernel. This allowed applications to directly manipulate persistent data structures in memory, potentially improving performance and simplifying data management. While not widely adopted in mainstream OS development, the ideas explored in AMOS influenced research in areas like persistent memory and database operating systems.
