Unununium (Operating System)
Unununium (short uuu) is an open source software development project with the goal of creating an highly componentized system, where each component can be dynamically loaded, unloaded, or replaced during runtime (Unununium Operating Engine). The development works are based on free Unix variants. The project is nicknamed for the chemical element roentgenium, whose temporary name up to November 2004 was unununium. The project should eliminate the necessity for the presence of a kernel. The code is based on the VOiD architecture (a kind of "no-kernel" architecture). It is designed to be from the ground up as a graphical real-time operating system for the desktop. The project team describes this goal as follows: - We want a completely dynamic system, where absolutely no single component is required to stay in memory at all times, where speed of the running applications is of prime importance, and where the programmers have total control over the machine.
