Neil Dickson - PwnOS

PwnOS is an operating system being written from the ground up to be ideal for High-Performance Computing (HPC) and other dedicated server systems needing low overhead and high CPU performance. It is designed to support up to 15 x86-64 processor cores with SSE3 and up to 512GB of memory (per node), letting you push the limits of computing power.

Over the next 4 months (January to April 2009), Geoff King, Eric Lawless, Luc des Trois Maisons, and I will finally be developing PwnOS. We will also be putting together a wiki and video tutorials on OS development with the goal of making it very easy to modify PwnOS. Instead of taking a very long time to make an OS that is mediocre at everything, the idea is to make an OS that is very good at one thing and make it easy to modify to be good at other things people want.

Stay tuned for updates as we get going!
