GeekFest 2025/Deos Architect

2024

Ref GeekFest_2024/Architects_Overview

• Design and Tooling for distributed teams
  • Minimal progress.
  • Aaron is getting more assertive about being involved in design.

Assemble not Construct

• BSP:
  • Platform agnostic drivers
  • Modular Extensible boot, PAL, BIF loader, BOOT/PAL testing
  • Status: presentations later in week.
• Component Integration:
  • Substantial Progress: cdproc/pia. Evaluation?
  • OpenArbor presentation later in week
  • Work In Progress: SW system, MFS
  • Not started: PDA

• Server Model:
  • High DAL UDP
  • Presentation later in week.
• CVTs
  • Infrastructure status?

Future (as seen in 2024)

• Hypervisors
• Make Other cores useful
• Secure Boot

2025

• Security not just Boot
  • Kernel: UGO for (more) secure servers and file systems

• DeosMicro
  • Deos without virtual memory
• Multi CPU/System integration
  • E.g., many independent (or not) ARM R5s along with A cores

• RISC-V

• How not to reimplement everything
  • Better leverage/support open source
• Hypervisor
  • Parry Labs is developing some infrastructure to ease certification of open source software.
  • Mark Brown (Parry) Tues & Wed
• Why so many network stacks?

• Better integration support
  • SW systems
  • Managing human in-the-loop integration
  • Better internal component version management
• Deos aware GCC
  • Are reproducible builds good enough?
• cdproc like capability for executable projects
• Lots of component level improvements necessary, e.g., Debugger, QEMU, etc.
• Podman, or equiv
• Ada
• Rust
