BareMetal OS 0.5.1

BareMetal is a 64-bit OS for x86-64 based computers. The OS is written entirely in Assembly, while applications can be written in Assembly or C/C++. Development of the Operating System is guided by its 3 target segments:<br /><br /> * High Performance Computing - Act as the base OS for a HPC cluster node. Running advanced computation workloads is ideal for a mono-tasking Operating System.<br /> * Embedded Applications - Provide a platform for embedded applications running on commodity x86-64 hardware.<br /> * Education - Provide an environment for learning and experimenting with programming in x86-64 Assembly as well as Operating System fundamentals.<br /><br /><br />Core Features<br /><br /> * Written in pure Assembly language for x86-64 based computers.<br /> * Over 60 integrated functions to deal with keyboard input, screen output, files, networking, memory, strings, math, multi-processing, etc.<br /> * Ethernet support with the Realtek 8139 chipset<br /> * Read/Write support for FAT16<br /><br />Multi-processor enabled<br /><br /> * System calls are provided for delegation of tasks to different processors.<br /> * Scalable up to 128 64-bit processors<br /><br />Networkable<br /><br /> * System calls are provided for sending and receiving packets via Ethernet.<br /> * Ring buffer that automatically stores received packets in memory.
