Welcome to the rhythmos wiki! RhythmOS is a small UNIX-like kernel that currently only runs on x86. The major goal of this project is to provide a highly configurable kernel that can be setup with only the functionality that is needed.

RhythmOS can be easily run virtually with the use of tools like QEMU.

#Features

• Small C library
• Kernel mode and mode user
• Basic Multitasking through the use of context switches and memory protection
• Dynamic memory allocation (using buddy allocation technique)
• Virtual memory
• Kernel Paging
• UNIX-like system calls:
  • Process management: fork, kill, execve, waitpid ...
  • Interprocess Communication (IPC): pipe, dup
