Gernot Heiser (born 1957) is a Scientia Professor and the John Lions Chair for operating systems at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). He is also leader of the Software Systems Research Group (SSRG) at NICTA. In 2006 he co-founded Open Kernel Labs (OK Labs, acquired in 2012 by General Dynamics) to commercialise his L4 microkernel technology.

Life

Gernot Heiser was born in 1957. He studied physics at the German University of Freiburg, where he earned his BSc, went on to earn his MSc at the Canadian Brock University, and his PhD at the Swiss ETH Zurich.

Research

Heiser's research focuses on microkernels and microkernel-based systems

as well as virtual machines, with a specific emphasis on performance

and reliability.

His group produced the Mungi single address space operating system,[1]

aimed at clusters of 64-bit computers, and

implementations of the L4 microkernel with very fast inter-process communication.[2]

His Gelato@UNSW team was a founding

member of the Gelato Federation, and focused on performance and

scalability of Linux on Itanium. They established theoretical and

practical performance limits of message-passing IPC on Itanium.[3]

Since joining NICTA at its creation in 2002, his research shifted

away from high-end computing platforms towards embedded systems, with

the specific aim of improving security, safety and

reliability via the use of microkernel technology.[4]

This led to the development of a new microkernel called

seL4, and its

formal verification,

claimed to be the first-ever complete proof of the functional

correctness of a general-purpose OS kernel.[5]

His work on virtualization was motivated by the need to provide a

complete OS environment on his microkernels. His Wombat project

followed the approach taken with the

L4Linux project at

Dresden, but was a

multi-architecture paravirtualized Linux

running on x86, ARM and MIPS hardware. The Wombat work later formed the basis for the OKL4 hypervisor of his company Open Kernel Labs.

The desire to reduce the engineering effort of paravirtualization

led to the development of

the soft layering approach of automated paravirtulization which

was demonstrated on x86 and Itanium hardware.[6]

His vNUMA work

demonstrated a hypervisor which presents a distributed system as a

shared-memory multiprocessor as a possible model for many-core chips

with large numbers of processor cores.[7]

Device drivers are another focus of his work, including the first

demonstration of user-mode drivers with a performance overhead of less

than 10%,[8]

an approach to driver development that eliminates the majority of

typical driver bugs by design,[9]

device drivers produced from device test benches,[10]

and a demonstration of the feasibility of the automatic generation of

device drivers from formal specifications.[11]

Recent research also includes power management.[12]

In the past he also worked on semiconductor device simulation,

where he pioneered the use of multi-dimensional modeling in the

optimisation of silicon-based solar cells.[13]
