Programming languages: Now Rust project looks for a way into the Linux kernel The Rust programming language gets a nod of approval from Linux creator Linus Torvalds.

The Google-backed project to make Rust a second programming language in Linux kernel development after C just took it's next big step. Key to the project is Spain-based developer Miguel Ojeda, who ...

The memory safe programming language will join C and the other traditional languages developers use to create new pieces and drivers of the ubiquitous open source kernel.

A vestige of Linux's SMP past is still making trouble for users of heavily loaded systems. Developers say the solution isn't to fix the Big Kernel Lock, but to uproot it entirely.

When a user-space program makes a system call, there is some overhead associated in the user-space/kernel-space transition. By programming all functionality in the kernel, we can make gains in ...

Those experienced with real-time systems programming, or Linux kernel development, will find application development under RTAI to be rather straightforward.

The software maker is providing its security partners with more information about the programming interfaces it will use to allow greater kernel interaction with the 64-bit version of Vista.

An analysis of the 5.7 million lines of Linux source code shows that it contains fewer bugs per thousand lines of code than commercial counterparts. By Michelle Delio.
