Empowering WebAssembly with Thin Kernel Interfaces

Wasm is gaining popularity outside the Web as a well-specified low-level binary format with ISA portability, low memory footprint and polyglot targetability, enabling efficient in-process sandboxing of untrusted code. Despite these advantages, Wasm adoption for new domains is often hindered by the lack of many standard system interfaces which precludes reusability of existing software and slows ecosystem growth.

Abstract

Wasm is gaining popularity outside the Web as a well-specified low-level binary format with ISA portability, low memory footprint and polyglot targetability, enabling efficient in-process sandboxing of untrusted code. Despite these advantages, Wasm adoption for new domains is often hindered by the lack of many standard system interfaces which precludes reusability of existing software and slows ecosystem growth.
