Lecture at Catholic University, January 17, 2018.
Abstract:
The GNU Hurd is a UNIX-like operating system based on Mach, an
operating system kernel developed at Carnegie Mellon University and designed to support multi-node clusters, which have become ubiquitous in high performance computing. This talk will highlight current trends in cluster computing, outline the design of Mach and Hurd, and summarize the speaker's work to realize Hurd's potential as a POSIX-compatible operating system that can leverage the power of an entire cluster.
