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)
