LANguard - free network security scanner, free port scanner, free vulnerability scanner. Return Infinity - BareMetal OS. BareMetal is a 64-bit OS for x86-64 based computers.

Return Infinity - BareMetal OS

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: 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.Embedded Applications - Provide a platform for embedded applications running on commodity x86-64 hardware.Education - Provide an environment for learning and experimenting with programming in x86-64 Assembly as well as Operating System fundamentals.

64-BIT PROGRAMMING MODELS

(a.k.a., Aspen Data Model Committee) The Open Systems community is at an optimum moment to make a choice regarding how 64-bit architectures will be supported by our implementations. The technical arguments included in this paper defend the position that LP64 is a better solution for 64-bit programming than other potential models (ILP64 & LLP64) . The key evaluation issues are portability, interoperability with 32-bit environments, standards conformance, performance effects and transition costs; as we analyzed each of the data models against these evaluation metrics, LP64 was our clear choice.
