[ANNOUNCE] Call for Contributors: ASIOS – AI‑Native OS (Kernel Work)
ASIOS is a new AI‑native OS (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base) bringing deterministic scheduling, NUMA‑GPU optimizations, zero‑copy I/O, and eBPF telemetry into the Linux kernel. Key directions— — Deterministic CPU scheduling for reproducible AI runs — NUMA‑aware memory placement tuned for GPU DMA — Zero‑copy GPU I/O via GPUDirect RDMA/Storage — eBPF‑based telemetry hooks **Call for contributors:** scheduler/MM, GPU/accelerator integration, eBPF instrumentation. Project links— GitHub: <https://github.com/asi-os> Discord: <https://discord.gg/rWuU7cWU4E> Roadmap: <https://github.com/asi-os/asios-docs/blob/main/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md> Please reply on‑list with questions or join us on Discord to dive into the design.

ASIOS – Envisioned to Host and Sustain Cognition & Synthetic Intelligence The world’s first AI-native operating system. ASIOS is a new class of OS built on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, designed from first principles for AI workloads. We’re creating the foundational infrastructure layer to support ever-more sophisticated intelligence—from today’s deep-learning models to tomorrow’s advanced cognitive and quantum-ready AI. Building on our May 3 thread, we’ve landed a resilient config-overlay and build script for ASIOS on both x86_64 and aarch64. Key artifacts: asios-config-overlay.sh: idempotent Kconfig overlay that tolerates missing symbols build-asios-kernel.sh: automated clone to config to compile workflow test-asios-config.sh: verifies .config flags post build Initial perf on Ubuntu 24.04 HWE 6.11: x86_64: mbw=7.3 GB/s, hackbench=53 ms, fio=1.6 GB/s arm64: mbw=27.4 GB/s, hackbench=4.8 ms, fio=3.2 GB/s GitHub (scripts and tests): https://github.com/asi-os/asios-core/ Discord: https://discord.gg/rWuU7cWU4E Areas for review and test: 1. Overlay logic: skipping versus failing on absent Kconfig symbols 2. Build-matrix logic: host-only versus cross-build 3. Test completeness: missing flags 4. Scripting style and robustness Any pointers or suggestions are highly appreciated before we push to a formal RFC series. — Vikram R Founder & CEO, KarLex AI, Inc. https://asios.ai On Sat, May 3, 2025 at 12:22 PM Vikram R <vikram@karlexai.com> wrote:
