Synergy is a new operating system with the goal of bringing together all computers into a perfect cloud; sharing processing power and data storage, whilst still giving each user full control over their individual privacy and their data.
The Synergy platform will use a Java-like managed language and runtime to enable cross-platform support, and to allow the power of all machines to be harnessed to their best advantage. A key goal of this language is to make support for threading commonplace amongst user-land programs, in order to harness the power of emerging multi-core machines.
The system is currently being developed for x86-based PCs, but additional platforms will be supported eventually. Support is planned not only for desktop and laptop systems, but also for tablets, smart phones, and other embedded devices.
