The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
Asterinas is a new Linux-compatible kernel project developed at the Southern University of Science and Technology in China. It is written in Rust and utilizes a 'framekernel architecture' to combine aspects of monolithic and microkernel designs. The project aims to achieve compatibility with Linux-ABI.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe project overlaps somewhat with the goals of the Rust for Linux project, but approaches the problem space from a different direction by trying to get the best from both monolithic and microkernel designs.
The framekernel concept is explained in the September 2024 paper 'Framekernel: A Safe and Efficient Kernel Architecture via Rus'
Born from research at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in Shenzen, China, Asterinas is a new Linux-ABI-compatible kernel project written in Rust, based on what the authors call a 'framekernel architecture'.
