Rob - would you be willing to tell us what the novel work is (and more about it) that still has relevance today? I'm sure I'm not the only one on the list that would love to learn more about that history. Best, D On Sat, Aug 26, 2023 at 7:54 PM Rob Pike wrote: > A big reason for doing Plan 9,

In addition to the papers Ori pointed out, you may wish to read Francisco J Ballesteros' Notes on the Plan9 3rd edition kernel: https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.75.5409 I don't know how obsolete this is for the current versions of plan9. https://github.com/Plan9-Archive/

Does plan9 have multi-core support? If it does, how does it manage it (what files/man pages/docs do I read). If it doesn't have, how would I implement it. -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T912e4838cb1a371f-M00dd91d9c0733c0

Hosting options are quite limited though, there's Hetzner and actually also Arm Virtual Hardware but I couldn't get 9front running there. And at least on real hardware running 32 bit on aarch64 seems to work. Also on macOS qemu there's hardware acceleration. I've tried that as well but I think I
