xv6 is a Unix-like educational operating system designed for teaching kernel concepts. It is implemented as an instructional kernel for x86 and RISC-V architectures, featuring a virtual memory manager and support for symmetric multiprocessing. The system is designed to demonstrate core OS principles through a simplified re-implementation of Unix Version 6. It provides a controlled environment for studying system calls, trap handling, and process lifecycles. Its capability surface covers process management, including scheduling and context switching, and memory management via page tables for

CppGuide is a curated collection of educational resources and practical guides focused on C++ server development, Linux kernel internals, concurrent programming, network protocols, and security exploitation. It provides structured learning paths for backend developers, covering everything from interview preparation to building high-performance network servers and understanding operating system fundamentals. The guide distinguishes itself by offering in-depth, hands-on tutorials that walk through real-world implementations, including building a Redis-like server from scratch, designing custom

This project is a collection of minimal operating systems, bootloaders, and hardware drivers used to demonstrate low-level x86 system programming and hardware interfacing. It serves as a kernel development toolkit and a system programming lab designed for testing architecture concepts and hardware behavior within a system emulator. The repository provides reference implementations for creating bootable disk images and loading kernel stages. It includes guides for implementing protected mode transitions, memory paging, interrupt descriptor tables, and symmetric multiprocessing on x86 hardware.
