Grasshopper
Orthogonally persistent, research SASOS. Persistence gives a fundamentally different model of computing from that supported by normal OSs, so using such for persistence research is inappropriate.

Mungi
Orthogonally persistent, capability-based secure SASOS using L4 2nd generation microkernel. Goals: Prove SASOSs can run on normal hardware, be as secure as normal OSs; can be as efficient as, and are faster than, normal OSs in some important uses; can be pure SASOSs with all data (even system data) in one address space and no other IPC mechanism is supported by OS. POSIX emulating. [Open Source, GPL]

The Expected Lifetime of Single Address Space Operating Syst
ems
Where stale pointers make it hard to re-use addresses, some have claimed that a 64-bit address space is so big that there is no need to ever re-use addresses. Results of extensive kernel-level tracing of department workstations.
