The implications of these approaches impact the mechanisms providing resource management for heterogeneous cores on a single chip.=0A=0ARather than starting with an LWK or an FWK, we combined the two into an operating environment called FusedOS. In particular, we combine Linux and CNK environments on a single node by providing an infrastructure capable of partitioning resources of a manycore heterogeneous system.=0A=0AOur contributions are three-fold. We present an architectural description of a novel manner for combining an FWK and LWK, retaining the best of each showing we can manage cores a traditional kernel can not. We describe a prototype environment running on current hardware. We present performance results demonstrating low noise, and show micro-benchmarks running with performance commensurate with CNK.
