Exploring a Multicore OS: BarrelFish, a FREE OS From Microsoft!

BarrelfishInteresting paper on Multicore OS, https://www.barrelfish.org/barrelfish_sosp09.pdf, this is paper that describes an architecture of an OS built from the ground up for multi-core.  Linux, FreeBSD (or whatever Apple is currently using) and Windows all have an architecture based on a world of single core.

This paper:

  • Introduces the multikernel model and the design principles of explicit communication, hardware-neutral structure, and state replication, and has statistics that demonstrate the scalability and adaptability to hardware characteristics using commodity devices.

    Thank you Mike!  Barrelfish is really cool, I hope to start a working group here in the US!  If you are student (attendiing college), a life long learner, or a hobbyist, let me know.  The Barrelfish.org group is looking for PhDs, but I am looking for people who have fun doing software and thinking about new things, but may not have had 12 years that they devote to getting a PhD.
