I am surprised and disappointed that the original paper and the blog post has zero reference to unikernel research, despite the fact that unikernel pretty much is the whole encompassing idea. I am wondering whether or not this is a missing or a different understanding the concept. Edit: Sorry I did not really get the difference between library OS and unikernels. It's still a lack of reference considering their connections.

The Demikernel is not a unikernel. It is a library OS compiled as a series of shared libraries. It is not compiled together with the application and doesn’t take into account what features the application uses. It is designed to work with kernel-bypass hardware, like DPDK.
