Microsoft Research just announced their experimental OS, Barrelfish. The project is aimed straight at making Operating Systems take advantage of newer multi-core processors, instead of letting their power go to waste.Microsoft is implementing a kind of database that shuffles information between the cores, allowing the cores to communicate much more efficiently.
