The article provides an update on TinyKVM, which has recently been open-sourced and now includes limited support for running unmodified executables in addition to its original computation focus. The author describes innovations in system call emulation and hybrid per-request isolation that enhance performance, especially in running complex runtimes like Deno with lower latency compared to native execution. Additionally, a new remote procedure call mechanism is introduced, allowing for efficient intercommunication between loaded binaries.
