  2. OS-level virtualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-level_virtualization

    OS-level virtualization is an operating system (OS) virtualization paradigm in which the kernel allows the existence of multiple isolated user space instances, including containers (LXC, Solaris Containers, AIX WPARs, HP-UX SRP Containers, Docker, Podman), zones (Solaris Containers), virtual private servers (), partitions, virtual environments (VEs), virtual kernels (DragonFly BSD), and jails ...

  3. Beowulf cluster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf_cluster

    Most Beowulf clusters run a Unix-like operating system, such as BSD, Linux, or Solaris. Commonly used parallel processing libraries include Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM). Both of these permit the programmer to divide a task among a group of networked computers, and collect the results of processing.

  4. Virtualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization

    Paravirtualization improves performance and efficiency, compared to full virtualization, by having the guest operating system communicate with the hypervisor. By allowing the guest operating system to indicate its intent to the hypervisor, each can cooperate to obtain better performance when running in a virtual machine.

  5. Comparison of platform virtualization software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_platform...

    Full-system virtualization (Processor Core ISA + Hardware + External connections) Early embedded software development and integration (from driver to application), Multi-core software debugging and optimization Depending on the system characteristics and the software itself, ranges from faster than real time to slow [citation needed]. Yes Virtuozzo

  6. Parallel computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing

    Parallel computing is a type of computation in which many calculations or processes are carried out simultaneously. [1] Large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which can then be solved at the same time. There are several different forms of parallel computing: bit-level, instruction-level, data, and task parallelism.

  7. Exokernel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exokernel

    Exokernel is an operating system kernel developed by the MIT Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems group, [1] and also a class of similar operating systems. Operating systems generally present hardware resources to applications through high-level abstractions such as (virtual) file systems.

  8. Concurrency (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_(computer_science)

    The mathematical denotation denoted by a closed system S is constructed increasingly better approximations from an initial behavior called ⊥ S using a behavior approximating function progression S to construct a denotation (meaning ) for S as follows: [14]

  9. Mach (kernel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_(kernel)

    Mach was developed as a replacement for the kernel in the BSD version of Unix, not requiring a new operating system to be designed around it. Mach and its derivatives exist within several commercial operating systems. These include all using the XNU operating system kernel which incorporates an earlier non-microkernel Mach as a major component.
