Concepts

We want to create a kernel that takes advantage of the new technologies and benefit of the new hardware optimizations like:

• SIMD single instruction/multiple data
  • simd
• Zero-copy from disk
  • zerocopy
• RDMA remote direct memory access
  • rdma
  • async-rdma
  • rdma-core-sys
• Unikernel architecture
  • Designed to run a single appliction statically linked to OS for maximum performance
• Microkernel architecture
  • Use only the modules that you need
• QUIC network layer
  • quinn
  • h3-quinn
  • iroh-quinn
• Sandboxed applications
  • Every app runs in a protected sandbox isolated from OS other apps having access only to what you provide
• NoSQL distributed ACID database similar to tikv, MongoDB, Redis, zetta or tidis
  • Raft
  • https://blog.sylver.dev/build-your-own-sqlite-part-2-scanning-large-tables
• Very performant relational SQL distributed database similar to sqlite or tidb
  • Raft
• Distributed filesystem
  • One option rfs
  • Communication with QUIC
  • Sync with Mainline DHT and BitTorrent
  • Encryption using rencfs
  • Deduplication
  • Compression using LZ4
  • Error correction codes
