Ciao a tutti,
martedi prossimo presso la facolta' di scienze c'e' un seminario su
Minix3 che potrebbe interessarvi. Mi ricorda i vecchi tempi del
flame tra Linux e Tanenbaum :)

TITLE: Demystifying Microkernels and MINIX 3
SPEAKER: Jorrit Herder
DATE: May 13, 2008 at 3:30:00 PM
LOCATION: Room 202 - Faculty of Science / Nuovo Edificio ICT-irst - Povo
ABSTRACT:
Most modern computer users want their system to work all the time and never
crash, ever. Yet operating system reliability is still poor. Because many
problems can be attributed to the monolithic design of operating systems such
as Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, our research focuses on microkernel-based
systems.
By splitting the operating system into many small, tightly restricted user-mode
server and driver processes, each with limited functionality, running on top of
a tiny microkernel, we have built a system, MINIX 3, in which bug-induced
damage cannot propagate and affect the entire system, and faulty components can
often be replaced on the fly, during system operation, thus greatly improving
reliability.
In this talk, I will introduce the problems with monolithic designs, discuss
microkernel concepts and present an overview of MINIX 3.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Jorrit Herder holds an M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the Vrije
Universiteit in Amsterdam and is currently a Ph.D. student of Prof. Andrew
Tanenbaum. His research focuses on operating system reliability and security,
and he is closely involved in the design and implementation of MINIX 3.
