README

IHK/McKernel is a light-weight multi-kernel operating system designed

for high-end supercomputing. It runs Linux and McKernel, a light-weight

kernel (LWK), side-by-side inside compute nodes and aims at the

following:

-  Provide scalable and consistent execution of large-scale parallel

   scientific applications, but at the same time maintain the ability to

   rapidly adapt to new hardware features and emerging programming

   models

-  Provide efficient memory and device management so that resource

   contention and data movement are minimized at the system level

-  Eliminate OS noise by isolating OS services in Linux and provide

   jitter free execution on the LWK

-  Support the full POSIX/Linux APIs by selectively offloading

   (slow-path) system calls to Linux
