Re: ADA os talk

Just remember that an OS cannot be all things to all people. Whatever your
ultimate goals are, the best way to get motion on it is to start with
something simple that can be done in some reasonable span of time and
provide some useful functionality. So long as the design is left open to
more ambitious possibilities, you're golden. Don't hamstring the design, but
don't create so many burdensome requirements that the job never gets off the
ground.

the ability to increase the speed by making a task running on one server

where you need it perhaps on the support of the critical speed task. Multi
tasking servers proving a realtime interface to an extremely fast single
tasking single process single machine running without even perhaps an
operating system. The operating system would be perhaps a support task on a
different machine.
