The Haiku operating system

Augustin Cavalier 42e3c6f978 KPath: Use an object_cache for the path buffers in the normal case. This was (following the packagefs changes) the number-one (by call count) consumer of malloc() during the boot -- 52866 calls, and 100% of them either 1024 or 1025 bytes! Virtually all of these are ephemeral (indeed, the object_cache stats after a boot with this patch shows there is only a single slab of 64 buffers allocated, and most of them unused), so this is probably a significant performance boost.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
Clean, clear, concise code.
Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!

Contributing code
