Windows 8 News

Microsoft’s Cambridge Research Laboratories are working on how to structure Future Operating Systems like Windows 8 for future multi-core and many-core systems. The Barrelfish team are currently working on two trends: the rapidly growing number of cores and diversity in computer hardware. With our previous post, this could be an area of study for the 128 bit operating systems as future of innovation.

They are seeking fresh talent with cutting edge knowledge of mathematic, computer science, computational science, and social sciences. Full-time positions are available HERE. Microsoft Research offers you the chance to be on the forefront of computer science research and technology development by working on prototypes and future Microsoft Products.
