Multi-Kernel Architecture Proposed For The Linux Kernel


Code was open-sourced this week and posted to the Linux kernel mailing list as a 'request for comments' (RFC) for a multi-kernel architecture

"This patch series introduces multikernel architecture support, enabling multiple independent kernel instances to coexist and communicate on a single physical machine. The multikernel architecture provides several key benefits: - Improved fault isolation between different workloads - Enhanced security through kernel-level separation - Better resource utilization than traditional VM (KVM, Xen etc.) Already in response some have commented to similarly experimenting with running multiple kernels at once on x86 hardware but that it may be difficult advancing it beyond a proof-of-concept stage due to various complexities.
