Meeting notes October 24th

• Notice: no meeting on Nov 7th

• Updates from Bill

  • I have a kernel that can send a GET_STATUS msg to Edgar’s QEMU on another machine and receive the response.

  • 

  • Next steps: deferred RX processing and hooking to Viresh’s virtio-msg common code

  • Note: this code is ugly and prototype quality, Edgar and I need to agree on common shared memory format that will remove hard-coded values

  • Corresponding system level code is here. Each of these branches (kernel and demo) will be rebased as I go along.

  • Note: This will be the first time we interoperate between Authors. So far we have tested Edgar to Edgar and Viresh to Viresh

• Updates from Edgar?

• Updates from Lei?

• Updates from others?

• Updates from Viresh:

  • Discuss meeting timings, its getting very late for India (22:30 IST) from Nov, possible to move it two hours earlier ?
