Barrelfish is a collaborative research project between Microsoft Research in Cambridge and ETH Zurich. It is an experimental operating system built from the ground up for scalability for multi-CPU core computers with the goal of reducing the compounding decrease in benefit as more CPUs are used in a computer via putting low level hardware information in a database, removing the necessity for driver software. The partners released the first snapshot of the OS on September 15, 2009. Excluding some third-party libraries, which are covered by various BSD-like open source licenses, Barrelfish is released under the 3-clause BSD-style license.
