Xen on /. again

Xen on /. again

[Mark A. Williamson]

Hey all,

Just a heads-up that Xen is on the /. frontpage again.

http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/05/01/17/1212241.shtml?tid=136&tid=156&tid=172&tid=106

The IBM sHype stuff, XenSource and the VT checkins are all mentioned.

Cheers,
Mark

No but some VT / VMX stuff has gone in (which was what the original article 
referred to).  AFAIK the sHype code is not yet ported to Xen at all.

Cheers,
Mark

It is not that fast. sHype is not in any Xen source 
yet. Currently it is running on our research hypervisor.
We want to discuss with the Xen community while we 
are porting it to Xen so we can address comments and
adapt it where necessary.

This is why we started this discussion on the Xen
development mailing list early.

Kindest Regards
Reiner

hi,

is sHype related to the old L4 Sawmill project in any way? Are there any 
lessons learned from that project that would be relevant to the work on Xen?
