Rust-Written Redox OS Enables Multi-Threading By Default

([Operating Systems] 15 Minutes Ago Redox OS + MT)


The Rust-written Redox operating system written from scratch is now enabling multi-threaded support by default for x86-based systems.

Following some recent bug fixes in the multi-threading code, Redox OS has enabled multi-threaded support out-of-the-box for x86-based platforms moving forward. This obviously is a big performance win for any modern systems working with this Rust-based OS.

In addition to the multi-thraded support by default, Redox OS has also landed a "massive" small file performance improvement, "massive" installation performance improvement, LZ4 compression support for RedoxFS, and a number of user-space/application updates.

Redox OS has also been demonstrated as being able to run on a BlackBerry KEY2 LE smartphone and Google Pixel 3.

The Encyclopaedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed
to do the work of a man. The marketing division of Sirius Cybernetics
Corporation defines a robot as 'Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun To Be With'.
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing division of the
Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as 'a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the
first against the wall when the revolution comes', with a footnote to effect
that the editors would welcome applications from anyone interested in taking
over the post of robotics correspondent.
Curiously enough, an edition of the Encyclopaedia Galactica that
had the good fortune to fall through a time warp from a thousand years in
the future defined the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics
Corporation as 'a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the
wall when the revolution came'.
