This does not mean GigaSpaces will abandon the platform-independent version of its software, but it does mean encouraging new customers -- or existing customers launching new projects -- to consider Cisco UCS as a platform with significant advantages for grid or cloud-style applications.

It's clear that kernels such as Linux or NetBSD really split the problem into two - mapping portable source code into platform-specific machine code (handled by gcc) and platform-specific code (handled by splitting the kernel into platform-specific and platform-independent parts).

However, this forces us to use the gcc model of code generation (as a batch process, which then has to be done in advance and does not provide the many benefits of runtime code generation); and also (and slightly relatedly) the boundary between platform-specific and platform-independent code in the kernel is often complex, having developed in an ad-hoc manner.

HYDROGEN is an odd mixture of things; it's a virtual machine, a programming language, and a hardware abstraction layer in the classical sense of a library of operating-system-level functions that can be implemented afresh on each platform to allow higher-level software to be platform-independent.

Generally, the operating system and its applications are written in a platform-independent language, such as C, which must be 'compiled' to the platform's assembly language.

And somebody should tell Mark Thompson about platform-independent technologies:

It is therefore completely platform-independent and should theoretically work in virtually any web browser on any operating system as well as the officially supported Firefox, Windows Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Safari.

One of the most appealing aspects of this resource is that it takes advantage of browser technology, which means it is in fact platform-independent.
