SVNet Meeting, Wednesday Aug 17, 1994 7:30pm Mountain View
386BSD Release 1.0:
New Innovations in Kernel Design and Architecture
William F. Jolitz
TeleMuse
WHAT: 386BSD, R1.0 - Kernel Design and Features
"Has 386BSD made any progress towards these new design goals
-- by attempting to create New Innovations in Kernel Design
and Architecture and meet these challenges head on -- or has it
fallen into the fatal stagnation of so many other Unix projects
which held out great promise but then grew stale and bloated over time
for a lack of new ideas?" That is the question posed by Bill Jolitz
which he will answer in this presentation at SVNet.
In this brief talk, some of the new kernel design work
contained in 386BSD Release 1.0 will be discussed along with
some additional new items of special interest (e.g. secu-
rity). In particular, our speaker will focus on answering these
design challenges posed two years ago, to wit:
* How do we better adapt a Unix-like system to the PC to
encourage usability and plug-and-play?
* How do we avoid file I/O and network transmission
bottlenecks to allow real multimedia and gigabit net-
working?
* How do we achieve multiprocessing in the 1990's?
* How do we allow people to do independent work on
filesystems and other subsystems independent of the
basic kernel?
He will then outline in brief the next series of design
goals and work-in-progress to be included in future versions
of 386BSD.
This talk is intended for people interested in new kernel
and operating systems design.
*** 386BSD Reference CD Demonstration System ***
For those interested in viewing what is contained on
the Dr. Dobbs Journal 386BSD Reference CD, a demonstration
system will be made available. This system contains the com-
plete operational 386BSD Release 1.0 system as well as the
complete and hyperlinked select kernel source annotations,
book excerpts from the pending book on 386BSD Release 1.0
entitled 386BSD From the Inside-Out, the complete Porting
UNIX to the 386 386BSD article series which appeared in Dr.
Dobbs Journal, and a number of other new 386BSD Release 1.0
writings which have never before appeared in print.
WHO: Bill Jolitz, Telemuse
Bill Jolitz began the 386BSD Project in 1989 as a way
of encouraging innovation in operating systems design on an
inexpensive PC platform. He has worked on operating system
design for BSD and commercial Unix systems since the 1970's
(including 2.8 BSD, where he was the Principle Designer).
Bill is also a popular published author who has written
extensively on new kernel and system design, networking,
security, and other areas. He currently works as an indus-
try consultant on a wide range of projects, most recently
projects in clustering, security, telecommunications, and
gigabit networking.
