Description:
Within the framework of the ESE section, FenixOS, a new research operating system is being implemented. The operating system aims at being a production grade operating system for current and future multi- and many-core processors. Current operating systems are based on design principles established in the 60s when computers were different from how they are today. In FenixOS, all these design principles are being revisited. To this end, many different design points are being investigated.
One unique feature of FenixOS is that it supports migrating processes as part of the process concept. This allows processes to move seamlessly from one machine or system to another. We are currently doing an overhaul and redesign of the system. The project involves involves implementing a part of the FenixOS kernel supporting process migration.
