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. Current version is 0.6.1 - released August 19, 2013. BareMetal boots via Pure64 and has a command line interface with the ability to load programs/data from a hard drive.
