    Cosmos

    Cosmos

    Cosmos is an operating system "construction kit"

    ...Cosmos itself and the kernel routines are primarily written in C#, and thus the Cosmos name. Cosmos is not an operating system in the traditional sense, but instead, it is an "Operating System Development Kit". Cosmos lets you create operating systems just as Visual Studio and C# normally let you create applications. Most users can write and boot their own operating system in just a few minutes, all using Visual Studio.

    gVisor

    gVisor

    Application Kernel for Containers

    gVisor is an application kernel developed by Google that provides a strong layer of isolation between applications and the host operating system. Written in Go, it implements a Linux-compatible system call interface that runs entirely in user space, creating a secure sandboxed environment for containers. Unlike traditional virtual machines or lightweight syscall filters, gVisor follows a third approach that offers many of the security benefits of virtualization while maintaining the speed, resource efficiency, and flexibility of containers. ...

    Perfetto is a production-grade tracing platform for Android, Linux, and Chrome that captures extremely detailed information about what a system is doing over time. It’s designed around a low-overhead producer/consumer model: instrumented components (“producers”) write binary events into shared memory buffers and a collector (“service”) reliably streams them to storage. The data model spans kernel and userspace, so you can stitch together CPU scheduling, app lifecycles, binder/IPC hops, GPU work, power and thermal signals, file I/O, heap samples, and more into a single coherent timeline. ...

    A security-focused library OS supporting kernel execution

    ...Instead of relying solely on broad OS-level permissions, it focuses on isolating workloads by tightly controlling the boundary where code interacts with host services and system resources. The design emphasizes interoperability across different integration layers, describing a separation between “North” shims (how apps or runtimes plug in) and “South” platforms (where the sandbox runs), which helps the system adapt to multiple deployment contexts. A key aspect of the project is that it targets both kernel-mode and user-mode scenarios, enabling experimentation with different trust and performance tradeoffs. ...
