Genode at FOSDEM | 2012-01-04
|

#############################

|
||||
| Meet us at FOSDEM 2012, to be held on 4-5 February in Brussels.
|
||||
|
||||
FOSDEM is one of the world's largest events of the Free-Software and
|
||||
Open-Source-Community.
|
||||
|
||||
:[http://fosdem.org/2012 - FOSDEM 2012, 4-5 February, Brussels, Belgium]:
|
||||
|
||||
This year, it will feature a dev room specifically dedicated to multi-server
|
||||
and microkernel-based operating systems. The list of participating projects
|
||||
include HelenOS, MINIX, GNU Hurd, and Genode. The dev room will host talks,
|
||||
discussion sessions, and demonstrations. Among the talks, there will be an
|
||||
introduction of the Genode OS Framework presented by Norman Feske:
|
||||
|
||||
:Abstract:
|
||||
|
||||
_Today's operating systems try to find a balance between seemingly_
|
||||
_conflicting goals. Ease of use is traded against security, resource_
|
||||
_utilization is traded against resource accountability, and system_
|
||||
_complexity is traded against scalability. For example, SELinux is ill_
|
||||
_famed as hard to use and consequently remains widely unused. As another_
|
||||
_example, isolation kernels minimize the complexity of critical system_
|
||||
_software but at the cost of limiting these solutions to static applications._
|
||||
|
||||
_The Genode OS architecture shows how these apparently inherent conflicts_
|
||||
_can be solved by operating-system design. By combining a recursive_
|
||||
_system structure with capability-based security, mandatory access_
|
||||
_control becomes easy to deploy. At the same time, the trusted computing_
|
||||
_base can be minimized for each application individually such that the_
|
||||
_attack surface for security-critical system functions gets reduced by_
|
||||
_orders of magnitude compared to existing approaches. Furthermore, a_
|
||||
_concept for trading physical resources among processes allows for_
|
||||
_dynamic workloads while maintaining quality of service. That is not just_
|
||||
_theory - the system is ready for demonstration and its developers are_
|
||||
_planning to use it as development environment by the end of 2012._
|
||||
|
||||
_After a brief introduction of where Genode comes from, the main part of_
|
||||
_the talk will be focused on the OS architecture and give a glimpse at_
|
||||
_the implementation via live demonstrations. Finally, the talk will_
|
||||
_briefly discuss the planned steps towards using Genode as_
|
||||
_general-purpose OS._
|
||||
|
||||
For everyone interested in operating systems in general and microkernel
|
||||
technology in particular, this year's FOSDEM is a great opportunity to
|
||||
get in touch. We are looking forward to meeting you in Brussels!
