libOS vs FPGAs

[John DOE]

Hi all,

I believe that the concept of libOS/exokernel is really outdated.

It's only a point of view :

Take a look :

domino.research.ibm.com/comm/research_projects.nsf/pages/prose.index.html

You virtualize many libOS ( "constrained OS" for max performances ) on the same hardware
.

Why not to start only various standards threads on reconfigurable Hardware ?

Top-notch links about FPGAs :
