Singularity

Singularity is the name of a project of Operating system begun in 2003 by Microsoft Research and aims at reaching a certain reliability. For that, it is almost completely developed in Code managed.

He wants to be to be the next system generation of exploitation of Microsoft and is his pluri-departmental project most important. Singularity does not have anything any more to see with old the Windows, because the 35 developers which work there full-time started from nothing and, for the moment, the core is made up only of 300.000 lines of code (what is little for an operating system).

Innovation

SIPs (Software Isolated Processes) function in closed environment. Two SIPs cannot reach the same object at the same time, and they are created and finished by the system itself with the liking of its needs. They are not permanent processes thus they encumber neither the Hard drive nor RAM because the beach memory used is directly allotted to another thing. Certain specialists estimate that this system thought a long time ago by Xerox involves a deceleration of the system, but from here the exit of Singularity, the power of our PC will have clearly increased.

Specificities

  • Singularity is written in its quasi totality in C#, or combination with one of its derivatives, Sing#.
  • It does not rest on the Common Language Runtime of Microsoft, nor on the Java but on Bartok (graphic compiler-interface unit developed by Microsoft Research).
