NASM (Netwide Assembler) is a widely used, open-source assembler for the x86 architecture that provides a flexible and portable way to write low-level machine code using an Intel-style syntax. It is designed to support a wide variety of output formats, making it suitable for different operating systems and development environments. NASM is known for its simplicity and clarity, allowing developers to write assembly code that is both readable and efficient. It is commonly used in system...

Apollo-11 hosts the original Apollo 11 Guidance Computer (AGC) source code for the Command Module and Lunar Module, faithfully transcribed from historical listings. It is written in AGC assembly and reflects 1960s software engineering practices, complete with comments from the original programmers. The code is both a cultural artifact and a technical reference, illustrating how limited memory and processor constraints shaped algorithms and system design. Developers can examine navigation...

This repository contains the source files for the official RISC‑V Instruction Set Manual, including the Privileged RISC‑V Manual in LaTeX and the Unprivileged Manual in AsciiDoc. It tracks formal ratified versions of the ISA maintained by RISC‑V International and hosts build workflows for releasing updated ISA documents.

Spleen started as a personal challenge. Patrick Wildt (patrick@) recently imported ssdfb(4), a driver for small OLED displays in OpenBSD and needed a 5x8 font to be able to squeeze more columns and rows on those devices. As someone spending most of his time in a terminal, I have been thinking about drawing my own font for a while, and this was the perfect opportunity. To be able to test character spacing and alignment, I started to use the font in xterm, then a zoomed version, and one thing...

gVisor is an application kernel developed by Google that provides a strong layer of isolation between applications and the host operating system. Written in Go, it implements a Linux-compatible system call interface that runs entirely in user space, creating a secure sandboxed environment for containers. Unlike traditional virtual machines or lightweight syscall filters, gVisor follows a third approach that offers many of the security benefits of virtualization while maintaining the speed, resource efficiency, and flexibility of containers. ...

nsync is a portable C library that provides a collection of advanced synchronization primitives designed to facilitate safe and efficient multithreaded programming. It offers reader-writer locks, condition variables, run-once initialization, waitable counters, and waitable bits for coordination and cancellation between threads. Unlike traditional pthreads-based synchronization, nsync introduces conditional critical sections, allowing developers to wait for arbitrary conditions without...
