Everything about Jochen Liedtke totally explained
Jochen Liedtke (
1953 –
10 June 2001) was a
German computer scientist, noted for his work on
microkernels, especially the creation of the
L4 microkernel family.
Liedtke's work on the
Elan programming language in the 1970s led him to create
Eumel, an innovative
run-time environment for Elan. In 1984, he joined the GMD (or Society for Mathematics and Information technology, which is now a part of the
Fraunhofer Society) and began working on, a successor to Eumel. At a time when microkernels were losing favour because of the relatively high cost of
message passing, he demonstrated that careful design and implementation could drastically reduce
IPC costs. He also proposed using a hierarchy of external pagers, an important feature of modern microkernels.
Liedtke also worked on
computer architecture, inventing guarded
page tables as a means of implementing a sparsely-mapped 64-bit address space. In 1996, Liedtke completed a PhD on guarded page tables at the
Technical University of Berlin. He then joined the
Thomas J. Watson Research Center where he began work on L4. In 1999, he became a professor at the
University of Karlsruhe. He died unexpectedly in 2001.
