DragonFly BSD, is working on a new approach to SMP and other kernel systems to enable an open source operating system. Along the way, we've been picking up improvements from other BSDs and introducing new ideas to streamline the underlying 30-year-old BSD code base, with a preference towards making systems less complex and easier to maintain.

Projects

• Add SMT/HT awareness to DragonFlyBSD scheduler The aim of this project is to add awareness of SMT (Simultaneous multithreading/HyperThreads) to DragonFly scheduler so that scheduling on multithreaded CPUs (HyperThreading technology) improves.
• Implement inotify interface and Indexing Service for Filesystem Implement Linux inotify interface in kernel. Based on inotify interface, build a daemon that operates as indexing service and works on locate database.
