Hello Sir,
I am Vivek Chand, pursuing my BE in Dr.AIT at Bangalore.
I am designing an OS for MultiCore and ManyCore chips to fully exploit it which wolud be a modification to xv6 and JOS Kernel(MIT's exokernel)
I have the ideas for implementing an deterministic and race-free Operating System.
Now, to make a bit different from the existing OS design, i want to load my microkernel into L2 cache permanently.
i.e, I want my microkernel to be bootloaded into L2 Cache rather than into main memory.
I think, It seems to be possible....but i;m not sure how to do it..
So, Can u please suggest me some ideas on implementing it....

Vivek,

Welcome to the forum. This forum discusses Intel's Fortran compilers for Linux and Mac OS, and is not a general operating system design forum. You may want to try one of the "comp.os" Internet newsgroups to get a general audience familiar with this area.
