Split-Kernel Architecture

Your Cloud. Your Hardware. No Virtualization Tax.

Build a private cloud on servers you own, or bring your own cloud (BYOC) and reclaim the VMs you already rent. Every workload runs in its own Linux kernel with dedicated cores: bare-metal performance, kernel-level isolation, no hypervisor, no shared kernel attack surface.

0 Device interrupts on app cores Structural, not tuning
0 Layers between app and hardware No hypervisor, no VM exits
<1 s Kernel crash failover Zero-downtime upgrades, instant rollback

Built on upstream Linux, 100% open source

Why Split-Kernel

Isolation Built into the Architecture

In a traditional Linux kernel, application code and device processing compete for the same CPU cores. The split-kernel architecture removes this contention by offloading all device processing to a dedicated kernel on dedicated cores. Applications see zero device interrupts, not because of tuning, but because device interrupts physically cannot reach them.

Who It's For

Built for Teams That Run Their Own Infrastructure

Platform & Infrastructure Teams

Consolidate more Linux workloads per machine without a hypervisor tax, without noisy neighbors, and without renewing virtualization licenses.

AI Infrastructure Teams

Sandbox untrusted agents and generated code with kernel-level isolation and direct GPU access, at container-like speed.

SRE & Fleet Operations

Apply kernel security patches across the fleet with zero downtime, sub-second failover, and instant rollback. No maintenance windows required.

Products

Built on Split-Kernel Architecture

Three open-source software products built on split-kernel architecture. Download from GitHub, deploy on your infrastructure.

Multikernel Private Cloud

Private cloud operating system

Private cloud without the hypervisor. Consolidate Linux workloads on bare metal in your data center, or bring your own cloud: the VMs you already rent. Each gets its own kernel, dedicated cores, and native hardware access.

Native performance on hardware you own or VMs you rent
Zero noisy-neighbor interference
No hypervisor overhead

Multikernel Sandbox

AI agent sandboxing runtime

Kernel-level sandboxing for AI agents. Each agent runs in its own kernel with full GPU access and strong isolation. No nested virtualization required.

Full GPU access per agent
Kernel-level agent isolation
Fast checkpoint/restore

Multikernel LiveUpdate

Zero-downtime kernel upgrade tool

Zero-downtime kernel upgrades with instant rollback. Apply security patches and kernel updates without rebooting or interrupting running workloads.

Zero-downtime kernel upgrades
Sub-second crash failover
Instant rollback

Run Your Infrastructure on Kernels, Not Hypervisors

Multikernel is open source and runs on the hardware you already have. Start with the docs, or talk to the team that builds it.
