Multiprocessor Support
It's been awhile since my last news entry. Work on DynatOS has been slow over the last 7 months, with most of the focus on analysis of the current design rather than actual coding.
With that being said, I am moving forward with implementing support for multiple processors/cores. This also involves a revamp of the process scheduler to account for, and utilize, multilple processors.

Modular Design
Up until this point, most of DynatOS has been developed in a true monolithic fashion, that being a solid kernel binary with all drivers and programs necessary.
Lately I've been dedicating my work on DynatOS to making portions of the loading process more modular. There is still much to do in this area in regards to the structures, loaders and tools involved to make this concept complete.

Still Busy...
What can I say, lots of work to do, little time to do it in.
The good news is that I have been working on DynatOS to the extent that the memory management and process management basics are done for the newer model.
Also, I've developed and uploaded a system architecture outline that represents the general course of DynatOS development. This outline may change to represent more accurate or condensed concepts.
