I will be curious to see how well the new Google kernel, Zircon, performs compared to Linux.
I have my doubts a micro kernel can come close to the Linux kernel efficiency.
Zircon is the new micro kernel that is part of Fuschia.

- e12e 8y agoIsn't this a bit of an odd comment, on a story about kernel bypass for high performance networking?
- jacksmith21006 8y agoWhy? Think it is very relevant.
- e12e 8y agoYou doubt a microkernel can approach Linux kernel efficiency, yet here a typical kernel task is delegated to user-space for efficiency under Linux ; an approach that is similar to how networking might be handled by a microkernel? I agree that it'll be interesting to see how fuchsia turns out.
- jacksmith21006 8y agoYes definitely have my doubts. But hope it works out. Just love Flutter and hope Zircon works out. But we have to see it actually happen.
