Harvey is a distributed operating system inspired by Plan 9 from Bell Labs, aiming to explore and implement modern OS concepts in a distributed computing environment. Written in C and Go, Harvey seeks to provide a simple and consistent interface for resource sharing across multiple machines. Although the project has been archived, it remains a valuable resource for understanding distributed system design and the implementation of Plan 9 principles.

Features

  • Distributed system architecture facilitating resource sharing
  • Inspired by Plan 9 incorporating its design philosophies
  • Implemented in C and Go combining performance with modern language features
  • Unified namespace simplifying resource access across nodes
  • File-centric interface treating resources as files for consistency
  • Support for multiple architectures including x86_64 and ARM
  • Modular design allowing for component-based development
  • Focus on simplicity reducing complexity in system interactions
  • Historical significance providing insights into distributed OS development
