"The Microsoft and ETH Zurich research teams have published the source code of Barrelfish, a multikernel operating system for the multicore heterogeneous hardware of the future. Today's operating systems have been adapted to work on multiprocessor and multicore hardware, but they were not initially designed with multicore in mind, and they are not ready for heterogeneous hardware with hundreds of cores that is to come in the following ten years. The main problem is the concept of shared-memory and the contention arising from accessing the same data protected by locks. This is the problem that Barrelfish wants to address."
“微软和瑞士联邦理工学院调查组发布了Barrelfish(译名追船鱼)——一个为将来的多核异构硬件设计的多内核额操作系统——的源代码。今日的操作系统已经被调整得适应上了在多处理机和多内核硬件上工作;但最初,它们并没有考虑过多核的环境;并且,它们也无法适应未来短短数十年即将出现的包含成百上千个核的异构硬件系统。目前的主要难题是共享内存的概念和由访问加锁保护的同一数据所引起的争论。这正是Barrelfish需要解决的问题。”
