MINIX is a Unix-like operating system based on a microkernel architecture, first released in 1987 and written by American-Dutch computer scientist Andrew S. Tanenbaum.It was designed as a clone of the Unix operating system [10] and one that could run on affordable, Intel 8086 based home computers; MINIX was targeted for use in classrooms by computer science students at universities.
Like Nachos, Pintos is intended to introduce undergraduates to concepts in operating system design and implementation by requiring them to implement significant portions of a real operating system, including thread and memory management and file system access. Pintos also teaches students valuable debugging skills.
OSP, an Environment for Operating System Projects, is a teaching operating system designed to provide an environment for an introductory course in operating systems. By selectively omitting specific modules of the operating system and having the students re-implement the missing functionality, an instructor can generate projects that require students to understand fundamental operating system ...
RSTS (/ ˈ r ɪ s t ɪ s /) is a multi-user time-sharing operating system developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC, now part of Hewlett-Packard) for the PDP-11 series of 16-bit minicomputers. The first version of RSTS (RSTS-11, Version 1) was implemented in 1970 by DEC software engineers that developed the TSS-8 time-sharing operating ...
Operating Systems: Design and Implementation is a computer science textbook written by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, with help from Albert S. Woodhull.The book describes the principles of operating systems and demonstrates their application in the source code of Tanenbaum's MINIX, a free Unix-like operating system designed for teaching purposes.

MICA was the codename of the operating system developed for the DEC PRISM architecture. [1] MICA was designed by a team at Digital Equipment Corporation led by Dave Cutler . [ 2 ] MICA's design was driven by Digital's need to provide a migration path to PRISM for Digital's VAX/VMS customers, as well as allowing PRISM systems to compete in the ...
JNode (Java New Operating System Design Effort), written 99% in Java (native compiled), provides own JVM and JIT compiler. Based on GNU Classpath. [37] [38] JX Java operating system that focuses on a flexible and robust operating system architecture developed as an open source system by the University of Erlangen. KERNAL (default OS on ...
KolibriOS is an open-source operating system for x86 computers, written completely in FASM assembly language.It has been developed since 2004, forked from MenuetOS, [5] and supports i586 CPUs or newer. [6]
