A question about Zircon and its capabilities compared to the Linux …
2019年5月10日 · All device specific code like drivers and the Zircon equivalent of device tree are outside the kernel so the same ARM Zircon image is used for all devices. Coupled with a stable driver API makes Fuchsia way easier to update than Android. All Zircon system calls except the wait calls are asynchronous, non-blocking and preemptable.
What are the benefits of Zircon micro kernel compared to a
2019年7月9日 · Couple of things have been done to help. One is the use of handles for resources managed by the kernel. So you do not have to constantly go back to the kernel. You set things up ahead of time. Zircon also makes heavy use of shared memory for messages. You set up a chunk of memory that is mapped into multiple process memory spaces.
ZIRCON MICROKERNEL PERFORMANCES : r/Fuchsia - Reddit
2020年12月24日 · Zircon microkernel is the kernel adopted in Google's new OS Fuchsia. Just because the goal is to make a general purpose OS, I'm very curious regarding Zircon performance especially when compared to the ones of traditional monolithic kernels i.e. Linux.

However since at the heart of the OS is the Zircon kernel I thought I read it somewhere or got the idea that perhaps Google could swap out the Linux kernel and use Zircon and this could help towards Android OS updates lasting longer for phones since Google would now control everything in the OS right down to the kernel itself vs the current ...
Are there any updates on if Fuchsia will be used for phones as
2023年7月23日 · Zircon is microkernel, which means drivers are not compiled inside the kernel, which will make it easy for the manufacturers and even technical users to update the device OS version. I'm guessing that Zircon will help a lot to reduce fragmentation (not sure if it is relevant today), and as far as a know it is under the MIT license.

2021年7月9日 · I read that Fuchsia has a microkernel called Zircon. Yes, IMO. But some will argue it is not a "pure" microkernel. I view it more of a spectrum and Zircon is more of a microkernel than the other major kernels we are using today including Linux. But with Zircon the scheduler for example runs in the kernel instead of user space.

2020年10月13日 · Another is better exploiting the changes in silicon for performance. Fuchsia does NOT use Linux but instead has a new kernel, Zircon. It is completely different than Linux. But what I most want to see is Google develop new silicon that is built to make Zircon more performant than Linux. There is obvious design decisions you would make differently.
What kind of kernel would Zircon be if its code is inspired by a ...
2020年6月15日 · Zircon is more right than Linux. Zircon is far more of a micro-kernel than Linux for example. The problem with making Zircon a pure micro-kernel is efficiency. It is also something that can happen over time. Take the scheduler for example. Today the Zircon scheduler is in the kernel. With a pure micro-kernel it would be in userland.

Can someone give me a ELI5 explanation between a microkernel
2018年12月9日 · Google has taken an approach where Zircon should get better performance on multiple cores then say Linux. I will be curious what performance they can get on a single core. The reason is that with a microkernel you have finer grain control of where things run. With Linux you are scheduling the kernel and NOT specific tasks in the kernel.
