The OS research is gradually evolving from the existing general-purpose OS to a specialized OS to further reduce interference and improve application performance. The HPC community is trying to apply unikernel in particular. Unikernel is a specialized kernel that uses a single address space based on library OS. This has strengths in small size, performance, predictability, and security. Also, it is suitable for a virtualization environment because the execution environment works well on the hypervisor. Unikernel is effective in terms of OS noise because the kernel and runtime library consists of only the minimum necessary functions.
