Cloud-native infrastructure with self-optimizing workloads. Achieve maximum density, efficiency, and reliability for your most demanding applications and services.
From the Safe Call Gate that contains driver crashes to the Golden Kernel that ensures survival from catastrophic failure, the system is designed to not just tolerate faults, but to survive and learn from them.
The DCF and SMF fabrics, governed by a pluggable, mathematically rigorous `mux_policy` engine, continuously and proactively optimize CPU, memory, and I/O to match application intent and system state.
Every action and state is exposed through versioned, append-only, machine-readable interfaces (Expose-SPI). There are no black boxes. This enables deterministic replay, deep analysis, and trustworthy automation.
The dual AKI/HIO architecture and the Classic API Abstraction (CAA) layer allow MuxLinux to run unmodified POSIX, Linux, and even Windows applications (Vulkan, CUDA) with near-native performance and superior stability.
MuxLinux is not a collection of features, but a set of deeply interconnected, intelligent fabrics for Compute, Memory, and I/O.
A formal, userspace orchestrator that compiles high-level intent graphs (Mux-Flow IR) into provably optimal and safe sequences of AKI commands, co-optimizing CPU, memory, and I/O.
The system's intelligence is not hardcoded. Hot-reloadable `mux_policy` plugins use vectorized telemetry and mathematical models (CVaR, EOQ++) to continuously tune the fabrics for specific objectives like minimizing tail latency.
A seamless compatibility layer. Unmodified applications using POSIX, Vulkan, OpenGL, CUDA, or OpenCL are transparently run on the modern AKI/HIO fabric, gaining superior stability and performance.
A revolutionary kernel subsystem that fundamentally redefines the relationship between software and CPU resources.
The DCF replaces static physical CPU topology with a dynamic, software-defined, and manifest-driven virtual architecture. At its core is the Radix Core Synthesizer (RCS), a mathematically rigorous engine capable of synthesizing a massively parallel array of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) from a limited set of physical cores (pCPUs).
The DCF translates developer intent, expressed through four primary Execution Contracts, into optimal hardware behavior. Developers declare the purpose of their code, and the DCF handles the rest.
| Core Class | Execution Contract | Typical Workload |
|---|---|---|
| Performance (P-Core) | "Immediately & without compromise." | Main render threads, real-time audio, critical UI loops. |
| Efficiency (E-Core) | "Frugal & in the background." | Periodic, non-interactive tasks: telemetry uploads, log rotation, backups. |
| Adaptive (A-Core) | "Flexible & fair." | Default all-rounder: web browsers, office apps, compilers, most system services. |
| Background (B-Core) | "Eventually & with no rush." | Lowest priority, opportunistic tasks like speculative caching or search indexing. |
The mathematical heart of the DCF that uses a radix tree data structure to avoid O(N) complexity when managing hundreds of runqueues, allowing the scheduler to find the next runnable thread across the entire vCPU hierarchy in O(log N) time.
The DCF is powerful, but not a dictatorship. The user or administrator has the final say via the pluggable Governor system, with options ranging from fully manual to fully autonomous, and extensible via external MuxPolicy modules.
When an administrator commands scaling, they are talking directly to the RCS. The RCS adjusts its internal targets and begins synthesizing (or destroying) vCPUs. This change is instantly visible to native applications, while legacy applications remain protected within their stable Personas.
