do you have a comparison to other similar projects like 1. styx on a brick http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/rcx_paper.html 2. 9p for imbedded devices http://iwp9.inf.uth.gr/iwp9_proceedings08.pdfand or other information on your work? in particular, what hardware are you using?
The "Styx on a Brick" paper was a definition inspiration for my work. I have acknowledged as much in my publications.
I completed my PhD in '07 before the "embedFS" filesystem paper from IW9P came out last year, and I have not done a formal comparison per se. But reading through the text, I do see similarities in some of our ideas, such as having one outstanding messag, of read/read message size, using 9P (rather than 9p2000) etc.
The IW9P paper does not give size numbers, but the basic 9P filesystem in my implementation was about 15KB in size when implemented on a 32-bit RISC processor named Nios (an embedded processor from Altera).
Most of my work was done using the Nios embedded FPGA environment from Altera. For more information:
