HermiTux: A Binary-Compatible Unikernel

HermiTux is a unikernel: a minimal operating system with low memory/disk footprint and sub-second boot time, executing an application within a single address space on top of an hypervisor. HermiTux also provides basic support for multithreading, debugging and profiling. HermiTux uses a lightweight KVM-based hypervisor that loads the Linux binary alongside a minimal OS layer within a single address space virtual machine.
