  • CORDS - A microprotocol framework, derived from the x-kernel (similar to Ensemble), which can support the construction of complex protocols such the internet protocol stack (TCP/IP), Router protocols, etc.) Used by DARPA's CACTUS and ARMADA projects.
  • GIPC - Real-time group communications protocol suite built using CORDS. Has both in-kernel (MK7) and user-space (Unix and NT) ports. Capable of detecting & recovering from node failures in sub-second timeframes. An overview of CORDS and GIPC can be found here.
  • SHAWS - a specialized server which utilizes the core protocol properties of GIPC, extended to provide fault resilient, clustering properties for the Apache web server. An overview of SHAWS can be found here.
  • MK7 - a full-function microkernel based Unix system which supports simultaneous Real-time and timesharing operation. Used by NSWC in HiPer-D testbed in T2 demonstration.
  • MK++ - a microkernel which provides a single code base capable of supporting high assurance, scalability, real-time, distribution, SMP, fault handling and performance all built in an object-oriented B3 evaluatable fashion. An overview of MK++ can be found here.
  • AD3 - a scalable, microkernel-based UNIX system which allows scalability for SMP systems and multi-node distributed systems while retaining a single system image.
  • CONVERSANT - Developed as part of DARPA Active Networks program, CONVERSANT provides an active network node designed to defend against denial-of-service attacks.
