By starting HermitCore applications, cores will be split off from the Linux system and the applications run bare-metal on these cores. This approach achieves a lower OS jitter and a better scalability. HermitCore applications and the Linux system can communicate via an IP interface (e.g. inter-kernel communication). @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ HermitCore applications can be directly started as standalone kernel within a vi In this case, iRCCE isn’t supported.
