Bytedance Proposes "Parker" For Linux: Multiple Kernels Running Simultaneously


It was just a few days ago that a multi-kernel architecture was proposed for the Linux kernel

Separate from that proposal from Multikernel Technologies, it turns out Bytedance has been working on their own similar solution called Parker. Bytedance's Parker allows for multiple Linux kernels to run simultaneously on a single machine without relying on KVM or other virtualization. It will be interesting to see where this work leads and if any of the approaches end up evolving into a suitable design for the upstream Linux kernel.
