libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, ARM, and PowerPC systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API. libjpeg-turbo also features colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java interface.

The goal of the project is now to develop a user library called libpfm4 to help setup performance events for use with the perf_events Linux kernel interface. The development of the perfmon kernel subsystem, libpfm and pfmon has now stopped.

This is NASM - the famous Netwide Assembler. THIS PAGE IS OUT OF DATE; we no longer use any Sourceforge services other than mailing lists. Get the current versions from http://www.nasm.us/.

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 programming, operating system development, and performance-critical applications where direct hardware control is required. The assembler is highly portable and can be used across multiple platforms, making it a standard tool in many low-level programming workflows. Its maturity and widespread adoption have made it a reliable choice for developers working close to the hardware. Overall, nasm serves as a foundational tool for understanding and implementing low-level software systems.

PICSimLab is a realtime emulator of development boards with MPLABX/avr-gdb debugger integration. PICSimLab supports microcontrollers from picsim, simavr, uCsim, qemu-stm32, qemu-esp32, and gpsim. PICSimLab has integration with MPLABX/Arduino IDE for programming the microcontroller's boards. As the purpose of PICSimLab is to emulate real hardware it does not have any source code editing support. For code editing and debugging the same tools used for a real board should be used with PICSimLab, such as MPLABX, Arduino IDE, or VSCode with PlatformIO. PICSimLab supports several devices (spare parts) that can be connected to the boards for simulation. Such as example LEDs and push buttons for simple outputs and inputs and some more complex ones like the ethernet shield w5500 for internet connection or the color graphic display ili9340 with touchscreen. The complete list of parts can be accessed in the documentation. Documentation at https://lcgamboa.github.io/picsimlab_docs/stable/

ChibiOS/RT is a free and efficient RTOS designed for deeply embedded applications. It offers a comprehensive set of kernel primitives and supports many architectures: ARM7, Cortex-M0, Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4, PowerPC e200z, STM8, AVR, MSP430, ColdFire, H8S, x86.

Check yafu on github for the latest code. YAFU (with assistance from other free software) uses the most powerful modern algorithms (and implementations of them) to factor input integers in a completely automated way. The automation within YAFU is state-of-the-art, combining factorization algorithms in an intelligent and adaptive methodology that minimizes the time to find the factors of arbitrary input integers. Most algorithm implementations are multi-threaded, allowing YAFU to fully utilize multi- or many-core processors (including SNFS, GNFS, SIQS, and ECM). YAFU is primarily a command-line driven tool. You provide the number to factor and, via screen output and log files, YAFU will provide you the factors. There is also an interactive environment similar to MATLAB or PARI/GP, where you can type commands and store results. YAFU is very customizable, through the optional use of many many command line parameters and a very capable expression inter

LinAsm is collection of very fast and SIMD optimized assembly written libraries for x86-64 Linux. It implements many common and widely used algorithms for array manipulations: searching, sorting, arithmetic and vector operations, unit conversions; fast mathematical and statistic functions; numbers and time converting algorithms; finite impulse response (FIR) digital filters; spectrum analysis algorithms, Fast Hartley transformation; CPU cache friendly functions and extremely fast abstract data types (ADT) such as hash tables b-trees, and much more. LinAsm libraries are written on FASM assembly language. They are stable and have appropriate benchmarks for many units. All libraries are well documented and grouped by their functionality.

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. Its key runtime, runsc, integrates seamlessly with container ecosystems such as Docker and Kubernetes, making it easy to deploy sandboxed workloads using familiar tools. By intercepting and safely handling syscalls from applications, gVisor reduces the attack surface of the host kernel, mitigating risks associated with running untrusted or potentially malicious code in containerized environments.

This project provides a step-by-step educational guide on building a simple operating system kernel entirely from scratch, specifically targeting the Raspberry Pi 3. The operating system, referred to as RPi OS, is inspired by the Linux kernel but remains intentionally minimal to focus on clarity and teaching fundamental OS concepts. Each lesson introduces a kernel feature and demonstrates its implementation within RPi OS, followed by a comparison to how the same concept is realized in the Linux kernel. The repository is structured so that every lesson corresponds to a snapshot of the source code at that stage, making it easier for learners to follow the progression of kernel development. The design of the lessons emphasizes gradual learning, allowing readers without prior OS development experience to understand kernel internals. The project is still under active development and encourages community contributions to expand its lessons and improve its content.
