[Drex-hackers] drex--murgiahack--0.0.4 released!

[Gianluca G. <gl...@gm...>]

Hi there,

I've just released the 0.0.4 version of drex--murgiahack.

There are no new improvements, but just some optimization fun.

drex--murgiahack--0.0.4  Release Notes:

Added the Page Global Extension and Makefile infrastructure for
further processor specific speedups.

With PGE bit enabled (it's supported only in pentium or newer
processors) context switching rate shows a +40% improvements.

As ever, I suggest you trying the kernel with the init files you find
in the drex kernel userland page at http://drex.sf.net/userland .

Have fun!
Gianluca

[Drex-hackers] drex--murgiahack--0.0.3 released!

[Gianluca G. <gl...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just released drex--murgiahack 0.0.3. It contains some bugfixes in
the capability system and in the uthread_push syscalls and it adds a
temporary functionality to clone the init address space. This is
useful for testing proper thread migration, included address space
switching.

You can use clonemigration.tar.gz init file from
http://drex.sf.net/userland to test it.

Thanks,
Gianluca
