The Rust-written Redox operating system written from scratch is now enabling multi-threaded support by default for x86-based systems.
Following some recent bug fixes in the multi-threading code, Redox OS has enabled multi-threaded support out-of-the-box for x86-based platforms moving forward. This obviously is a big performance win for any modern systems working with this Rust-based OS.
In addition to the multi-thraded support by default, Redox OS has also landed a “massive” small file performance improvement, “massive” installation performance improvement, LZ4 compression support for RedoxFS, and a number of user-space/application updates.
Redox OS has also been demonstrated as being able to run on a BlackBerry KEY2 LE smartphone and Google Pixel 3.
More details on these recent Redox OS accomplishments via the September development summary on Redox-OS.org.
