Hello, the following paper describes the SawMill L4-based multiserver that is being developed at Big Blue: http://www.research.ibm.com/sawmill/sigops00.ps AFAIK, Sawmill didn't release any sources (yet?), but some of their (mainly) architecture papers are available. It's quite interesting to compare the Hurd's architecture to Sawmill's, especially considering the differences between Mach and L4. Is someone here involved directly or indirectly with SawMill project? It would be quite interesting to compare the Hurd's and SawMill's architectures, and probably even merge useful ideas. Hmmm... People interested in porting the Hurd to L4 are invited to join the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. l4-hurd was put on hold some time ago, since we didn't find volunteers with expertise in thread libraries (we need a n:m-multiplexing thread-library for L4), but we should IMHO have a new try at it. Please note that I'm not trying to drag resources away from bug-hurd, but rather looking for Hurd hackers that could help make the Hurd even better ;-).
