Nemesis (operating system)
Nemesis was an operating system that was designed by the University of Cambridge, the University of Glasgow, the Swedish Institute of Computer Science and Citrix Systems.
Nemesis was conceived with multimedia uses in mind. It was designed with a small lightweight [kernel operating system|lightweight kernel], using shared libraries to perform functions that most operating systems perform in the kernel. This reduces the processing that is performed in the kernel on behalf of application processes, transferring the activity to the processes themselves and facilitating accounting for resource usage.
The ISAs that Nemesis supports include x86, Alpha and ARM. Nemesis also runs on evaluation boards.
