Dear Sachin,

The Barrelfish concurrency model is described in our SOSP paper, which
is available from the web site.   Each core runs a distinct small,
non-preemptible, event-driven kernel (called a CPU driver).   A CPU
driver multiplexes the core among user-space "dispatcher" objects (one
per application per core), which are upcalled by the CPU driver when
the application is scheduled on that core.  The dispatcher typically
runs a user-level, core-local, preemptive thread scheduler which, in
the presence of cache-coherent shared memory, can also migrate a
user-level thread between cores. 

The short answer to your first question is therefore: "yes".

As for the future, we all wish we knew.  We are continuing to develop
and support (as far as we can) Barrelfish as a vehicle and platform
for OS research.  

Hope this helps,
