nanos's small size and linux binary compatibility make it potentially a great candidate for
- pedagogy
- systems language research
- CPU architecture research
- embedded systems development where a linux process model is useful
- OS research (assuming anyone still does that)
- systems with high performance or low variance needs
- HPC
- hp77 3y agoWhy do you think OS research is something many might not be doing? Genuine question.
- convolvatron 3y agoI thought I was going to do is research. There was a consensus at the time in the community and at least one famous white paper that I can’t find now (pike? rashid?) that explained it was dead. I kind of agree and kind of don’t. I think we have more exploring to do on what the right structure is, but I’m not sure I’d call it research. I think we really missed an opportunity to lay down a new foundation with cloud services. Distribution and security are still two pretty massive holes, and people are looking at them.
