Unununium (or: Uuu) – an experimental operating system written in assembly for Intel architecture. It is a highly componentized system, where each component can be dynamically loaded, unloaded, replaced at runtime. This concept is pushed to the extreme, completely removing the presence of a kernel.
The project mission is to explore and develop new operating system concepts; to redefine the architecture while using assembly language for most of the underlying architecture.
It is written in assembly, it aims toward offering a no-kernel, SAS, real-time GUI-based system where components named cells are loaded in memory by a linker, which is then unloaded as the control is transferred to them.
Goals:
– No internal security protection
– One flat memory space shared by all processes/apps/*
– No “Kernel” per say, only an agglomeration of “cells” or modules together forming the basis of the system — In our lingo we referred to this as a “VoID Kernel” since there wasn’t any big or small monolithic kernel controlling everything.
