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.

Nasrudin returned to his village from the imperial capital, and the villagers
gathered around to hear what had passed. "At this time," said Nasrudin, "I
only want to say that the King spoke to me." All the villagers but the
stupidest ran off to spread the wonderful news. The remaining villager
asked, "What did the King say to you?" "What he said -- and quite distinctly,
for everyone to hear -- was 'Get out of my way!'" The simpleton was overjoyed;
he had heard words actually spoken by the King, and seen the very man they
were spoken to.
