The last supercomputers running lightweight kernels are the remaining IBM [[Blue Gene|Bluegene]] systems running [[CNK operating system|CNK]]. A new direction for lightweight kernels is to combine them with a full-featured OS, such as Linux,
full-featured OS, such as Linux, on a many-core node. These [[Multikernel|multikernel]] operating systems run a lightweight kernel on some of the CPU cores of a node, while other cores provide services that are omitted in lightweight kernels.
omitted in lightweight kernels. By combining the two, users get the Linux features they need but also the deterministic behavior and scalability of lightweight kernels.
