Nemesis
(University of Cambridge, UK)
Pegasus has produced an entirely new operating system, whose design is
geared to support of high-performance applications which require a
consistent quality of service (QoS), such as those which use
multimedia. This operating system, called Nemesis, currently runs on a
number of platforms including Intel, Alpha (21064 and 21164) and
StrongARM.
Nemesis is a single-address-space system, with an extremely
light-weight kernel ('Nemesis Trusted Supervisor Code', or NTSC), and
strong emphasis on performing operating system functions in the user's
domain (thus avoiding the need for expensive protection regime
changes).
