Research Report: Analysis of Software for Restricted Computational Environment Applicability

Preliminary experiment design and research goals are presented to measure the applicability of restricted computational complexity environments in general purpose development efforts. The Linux kernel is examined through the lens of LangSec in order to gain insight into the make-up of the kernel code vis-à-vis the complexity class of recognizer for input to each component on the Chomsky Hierarchy. Manual analysis is assisted with LLVM Passes and comparison with the real-time Linux fork. This paper describes an on-going effort with the goals of justifying further research in the field of restricted computational environments.
