- Apostle
- Free microkernel operating system for i386 architecture, built on Gemini Nucleus, coded in C. Seeks to provide well-designed alternate to extant OSs; goal: create an OS that works because it is appropriate and effective for its users. [open source, GPL]
- 525
- Gemini Nucleus
- Open source project to make a production quality micro kernel based on the latest findings in OS research.
- 526
- LinksOS
- To be fast, secure, straightforward, fill gap between OS X, Linux, Windows, built on microkernel, coded in Assembly, C/C++; for desktops, workstations, small servers. Description, mail list, OS design documents, CVS, downloads. [Open Source, BSD]
- 527
- NewOS
- Loosely based on concepts in BeOS, FreeBSD, NT, Solaris, other modern OSs; goals: be as modern and complete as possible, emphasize platform portability; runs on x86 1, 2/4 SMP CPUs, Sega Dreamcast Hitachi SH-4. Kernel used in OpenBeOS. [Open Source, BSD]
- 528
- Programmers Operating SYStem: POSYS
- To be simple 32-bit multitasking microkernel using all security features of x86 processors, able to load and execute modules for: MS Win32 (32-bit PE, EXE; dynamic link libraries, DLLs), Linux (ELF, a.out). [Open Source, GPL]
- 529
- ReactOS
- Opensource effort to develop a quality operating system compatible with Windows NT applications and drivers.
- 530
- rtmk
- Realtime microkernel: preemptive, fully re-entrant, multithreaded, SMP, continuations, full locking primitives; shares many ideas with Mach, developed by CMU in late 1980's, early 1990's, stopped in 1994. [GPL]
- 533
- Telconi Terminal for Cisco IOS
- A network management application giving experts a visual configuration editor and specialized terminal emulation for any Cisco IOS based devices, such as routers and switches.
- 534
- O3ONE
- Object-oriented OS uses best parts of VMS, Unix, Windows NT. Almost everything in kernel is an object (threads, processes, devices, files, event flags, more) to which one can assign logical names. [Open Source]
- 535
- ROME
- Lightweight, very modular component-based, multitasking, embedded OS; developed, used for many research projects. Goal: manage fast data streams in multimedia environments; for speed and low overhead has zero copy architecture: passes pointer references to data instead of copying it. [Open Source, GPL]
- 536
- Trion Development Portal
- Goal: create modern 32/64-bit OS, based on ideas of object-orientation, nanokernel; coded in C++, C and Assembly where needed. Open source, BSD.
- 537
- DOORS: Design of Object-Oriented Real-time Systems
- Goal: develop method to design real-time systems that: is practical for large scale, complex systems; includes support of OO techniques to achieve reuse in implementations; helps visualize and test design concepts during early stages when main decisions are made.
