I'm more curious about this Interface for Heterogeneous Kernels (IHK) that makes running Linux next to McKernel possible.
It sounds like something like virtual partitions (vPars) from old HP Superdomes, which were pretty neat.
- asmadeus 8y agoIt's basically a few kernel modules and utilities that help with memory/cpu management (take cores offlines, reserve memory etc) and provide message passing from linux to whatever you want to run on the other codes with a queue messaging system (ikc) -- it's used by mckernel but should theorically work with anything else, would love to know if anyone else uses it (disclaimer: I'm working on ihk/mckernel this year)
