Kernel Components

Kernel Components Many existing operating systems retain large portions of legacy code. This code was developed in the days when computers ran workloads that differ quite drastically from the loads that modern systems have to accommodate. Today's OS has to provide numerous features such as scalability across multiple processors and various working set sizes, low-latency response times and adaptivity to accommodate dynamically changing conditions.

VM+ enables operating systems to scale to large numbers of processors and modern working sets. Contemporary applications rely heavily on shared and anonymous memory and memory-mapped files. They often utilize multiple CPUs. Modern servers have to be able to dynamically adapt to changing load conditions. By utilizing unique algorithms designed by OS Research, VM+ seamlessly integrates into existing operating systems and provides the features required by modern enterprise grade operating system kernels.

VFS+ is unique software that replaces the existing VFS subsystem. Unlike legacy VFS code designed many years earlier, VFS+ was designed to be highly scalable and optimized. It combines optimizations designed and validated over many years of research with our unique approach recognizing that today’s applications mandate that VFS is used in a highly parallel fashion. Being designed this in mind; VFS+ easily outperforms existing subsystems that evolved from code based on outdated requirements.
