The Haiku operating system

Go to file

Augustin Cavalier 74012f55ed kernel/vm: Fail reserving memory more rapidly based on a retry count. Previously, we would run the low resource manager continously in a loop until reaching the timeout. This used up a lot of CPU needlessly, because if the manager fails to release the memory we need in the first few runs, it's unlikely to do so later. We could add another waiting mechanism here, but ultimately it seems to make more sense to just fail early before reaching the timeout at all, in this case. Improves system responsiveness under high memory pressure.		2025-01-02 15:35:33 -05:00

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!
