Multikernel Technologies released mklinux v7.0-mk2, the first public version of its multikernel Linux tree, enabling several independent Linux kernels to run concurrently on a single physical server without using a hypervisor. One kernel operates as host, managing CPUs, memory, and PCI devices, then launches additional kernels via kexec with dedicated hardware slices. The host coordinates these through device tree overlays and can reassign resources live. Currently limited to x86_64, the modular design is intended for future ports. Multikernel Technologies is commercializing the tree with products for GPU-access AI agents and live kernel patching that avoids system downtime.
This update represents a notable development in the Ai sector. Organizations and founders tracking this space should evaluate potential strategic and technical implications on their operations.
