hermit kernel

We have hosted the application hermit kernel in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about hermit kernel:

Hermit Kernel is the core component of HermitCore, a Rust-based unikernel that runs directly on hypervisors or bare-metal systems to support high-performance cloud and HPC applications. This repository contains the microkernel�s implementation, optimized for running Rust applications natively in a lightweight, single-address-space environment. Hermit Kernel is designed to reduce latency and overhead by avoiding traditional OS abstractions, while still providing essential services such as scheduling, memory management, and networking. It bridges the gap between performance-critical applications and the simplicity of unikernel deployment.

Features:

• Rust-based microkernel for safety and performance
• Single-address-space unikernel design
• Bootable on bare-metal and hypervisors (e.g., QEMU, uhyve)
• Lightweight task scheduling with low overhead
• Memory management with paging and heap support
• TCP/IP networking stack for cloud applications
• Integration with Rust�s standard library via libhermit
• Syscall and interrupt handling for application support
• Designed for HPC, cloud-native, and embedded environments

Programming Language: Rust.
