# Reliant

Experimental RISC-V emulator and JIT-compiler targeting WebAssembly.
Copyright (C) 2025 by Brooke Vibber <bvibber@pobox.com>

## Goals

* Learn more about RISC-V architecture and ISA
* Learn more about WebAssembly 2.0 by targeting a JIT compiler to current browser feature set
* Run simple static Linux binaries compiled for RV64GC in a web browser or node.js environment
* Support multiple cores with shared memory

## Stretch goals

* emulate enough hardware interface to run a Linux kernel

## Non-goals

* be commercially exploitable
* be a big popular project
* run arbitrary complex programs (eg kernel usermode emulation)
