DeLiRiuM Description

A 32-bit nano-kernel hybrid operating system. The DeLiRiuM project (delirium-kernel) is a 32-bit nano-kernel hybrid operating systemOne of it's aims is developing and testing unconventional interfaces between OS and userspace rather than providing yet another ubiquitous POSIX.1-like API. The goal is to do this in a not only in a programmer friendly way, but also without sacrificing modern OS features or performance.Development currently targets IA-32 (x86), the Xen hypervisor and UNIX userspace.The DeLiRiuM kernel is primarily written in ANSI C and x86 assembler (gas). What's New in This Release: · Early stages of a port of kernel to run as a domU under xen. · A huge amount of concurrency problems/race conditions have been fixed. · IPC has been greatly improved, and is integrated more closely with the short-term scheduler. · Much more independent and resilient user-space. · A user-space SLIP driver. · Many changes to support loading of position-independent executables. · Many other minor bugfixes and features.
