Hello, But look, > you have just > doubled the weekly traffic! ;o)
Let me triple it then:-) I was wondering about Adeos's roadmap. Right now I see three uses of Adeos: 1, Real time capabilities for Linux 2, Clustering for Linux and 3, Running multiple instances of Linux on the same machine. Which of these is the project working towards? I there an explicit roadmap towards any? I particular I am interested in 3 and ways to possibly achieve it. I think this would be useful to a lot of people. One approach would be to have a VMM and virtualize all resources. This would involve the overhead of "world switches" to the host OS and virtualization (with the VMM running as an application on the host OS). You would land up with something like VMWare and plex86 which would have little value. The other approach would be the one mentioned in the clustering paper i.e. make Linux aware of Adeos. This brings up the question of how to get two or more instances share resources and co-operate. A major problem would be devices. Without virtualization, it would invlove a huge number of changes to drivers, making it difficult to develop and maintain, if one were to support all the devices that Linux currently does. In this case the purpose of Adeos would be to multiplex access between multiple instances, which would be aware of each other and avoid stepping on eac others toes. The upside would be that you would have significant performance advantages over the VMM method. Any thoughts on this? Or am I completely off the mark? The information I found on the Adeos papers did not go into much detail as to how things would be implemented Cheers, Girish __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
