XOS (eXperimental Operating System) is an experimental operating system which is designed to be run on the XSM (eXperimental String Machine) architecture which is a simulated machine hardware with features like multiprogramming, virtual memory, and system calls. It is intended as an instructional tool for students learning operating systems.
see specificationXFS or eXperimental File System is a file system architecture designed for
XOS (eXperimental Operating System). XFS is a simple filesystem which
has no directory structure.

The machine simulator is known as eXperimental String Machine (XSM).
It is an interrupt driven uniprocessor machine. The machine handles data
as strings. A string is a sequence of characters terminated by ’\0’. The
length of a string is at most 16 characters including ’\0’. Each of these
strings is stored in a word (Refer Section 3). The machine interprets a
single character also as a string.

SPL is an untyped programming language designed for implementation of an operating system on XSM (eXperimental String Machine) architecture. The language is minimalistic and consists only of basic constructs required for the implementation. Programming using SPL requires a basic understanding of the underlying XSM architecture
see specificationAPL is a simple and strongly typed programming language. The features and constructs of this language are minimal and mainly intended for testing eXperimental Operating System (XOS).
