In our project, we build the control system with some machine running seL4, some means more than 2, seL4 is the base kernel of these system, and the upper is platform like Android framework developed by ourself, we call it Elastos, it is written in c++. seL4 communicate with others through TCP/IP.

主题: Re: [seL4] sel4 on multi-core
Security and IPC is hard....
Shared memory is difficult.
Network sockets (localhost.localdomain) is a good bet.
Asking about assigning a specific core to a process/thread is difficult.
A system needs a lot of control to be stable. Giving control away risks
instability because interrupt and other core functions are not negotiable.
Threads are also very difficult yet easy to abuse.
What specific user space parallel IPC programming model is interesting?
There are many?
What object reuse policy is expected?

We have some internal research prototypes we use for exploring the research challenge of concurrency versus verification tractability, in addition to currency models for microkernels in general. Some of that code is probably what you have found. The code is likely to be highly experimental, and not what we are actively working on.
We have more mature research prototypes (still prototypes) internally that we a working towards releasing when time allows. I can’t give an accurate estimate, but it is likely to be in terms of weeks, not months.

Subject: [seL4] sel4 on multi-core
Hi All,
I think, on IA-32, sel4 supports multi-core machine.
But I do not how to use that. Here I have two specfic questions.
1. How to assign a specific core to a process/thread? And can I change this affinity?
2. How to two process/threads communicate via IPC on different cores?
I want to know some implementation details in kernel to support cross-core IPC.
Could anyone explain its logic or tell me the code for it in the kernel?
Thank you very much.
Best,
Yuxin
