Abstract

K42 is an open-source, Linux-compatible, scalable operating-system kernel that can be used for rapid prototyping of operating-system policies and mechanisms. This paper reviews the structure and design philosophy of K42 and discusses our experiences in developing and using K42 in the open-source environment.
