Project "Dionysus"
The project "Dionysus" aims at applying theories and practices concerning operation systems to a hybrid kernel in modern C++.
Built With
Environment
The project is initially built on Debian in WSL2 with:
- clang/ LLVM 13
- CMAKE, 3.19 and above.
Note: Other compilers may be competent, but C++20 support for compiler is required, for C++20 features like std::span are massively used.
Third-party libraries
Features and goals
- Multi-server microkernel
- Asynchronous API
- Written in modern C++
Roadmap
| Q3 2021 | Q1 2022 | Far Future |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ Basic OS structure 🔄Kernel-mode servers 🔄 Basic userland and shell |
❌ Extended OS features ❌ OS security features ❌ Asynchronous API ❌ Graphic support |
❌ Window system ❌ Accessories |
✅ Supported | 🔄 In progress | ❌ In plan
Contributing
Contributions are what make the open source community such an amazing place to be learned, inspire, and create. Any contributions you make are greatly appreciated.
- Fork the Project
- Create your Feature Branch (
git checkout -b feature/AmazingFeature) - Commit your Changes (
git commit -m 'Add some AmazingFeature') - Push to the Branch (
git push origin feature/AmazingFeature) - Open a Pull Request
Furthermore, you are welcomed to:
- Ask a question
Also, have a look at our FAQs. - Start a discussion
Discussions can be about any topics or ideas related to project-dionysus. - Make a feature proposal
Kernel features do you want to appear or not to appear in project-dionysus? For example, you can propose a new kernel server making the project-dionysus better, or an idea for userland features.
Credits
The development of this project mostly refers to, and sometimes borrows some techniques, designs and codes from the following project:
-
mit-pdos/xv6-public
xv6 inspired me to start the project to build a kernel, with which I got knowledge of operation systems. And some of its shortcomings motivated me to create this project. -
Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix
A series of papers and the book about the development of minix 3 not only let me know about what is microkernel and how it works but also have a deep influence on the goal and development of this project. -
vsrinivas/fuchsia
Google's new operation system.
