Stardust

[wardjaradat]

We are pleased to announce a new Unikernel project called Stardust which has been engineered by researchers from the University of St Andrews. We would appreciate if you could include it on your community website. Please find below a brief summary of the project:

Stardust is a Unikernel operating system designed to support the deployment of light-weight applications in a protected, single-address space environment. It delegates the management of physical resources to an underlying hypervisor which is treated as a trusted platform. Stardust has a small code base that can be maintained easily and relies on static linking to combine a minimal kernel with a single application, along with the libraries and associated programming language run-time required for the execution of the application. It supports multiple cores, preemptive threads, basic front-end drivers and provides a standard POSIX threads library. It also supports a small Java interpreter that can be used for experimental purposes. Stardust also comes with a small debugger called Duster which can be used for debugging C-based PV Unikernels on Xen.
