That's what my startup is about. Leveraging multiple cores using a hypervisor: http://www.l4dev.org

Someone's actually commercializing L4? I've been hoping for that for a long time; good luck! While my own OS is very different (pure managed and all that jazz), I'll never forget the things I learned from L4, and it's great to see that someone's actually doing something real with it.

I've been working on it for quite some time. Its nearly ready now, and it supports the quad core Cortex A9 - the latest intel rival mobile cpu.

If it's not a secret, can you tell us more about your startup?
