Hi - FYI, I gave an hour and a half Hurd lecture yesterday at Catholic University in Washington, D.C.
I put a screencast of the lecture on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwsuAEF2FYE The first part of the video is a general discussion of high performance computing, leading into my own work developing Hurd as a cluster operating system. The Mach/Hurd specific part starts at 43 minutes. I developed some tikz macros to illustrate Mach/Hurd concepts using LaTeX. For example, there's an illustration of Mach IPC at 51:20, the memory object protocol at 1:09:30, and the netmsg server is illustrated at 1:16:25. Others might find these macros useful for constructing similar presentations. If so, I've got the LaTeX source for the slides in my github hurd repository here: https://github.com/BrentBaccala/hurd/blob/master/slides/cua.tex I might revise it a bit; the macros are a bit clunky. A finished PDF is available here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Wv5dZpbKP17-H1uUOb9hnnBvXBf2LHiL Could we add that to the collection of presentations that we've got on the documentation page? agape brent
