Abstract
Systems and methods are described for managing applications in a computer system. An operating system kernel such as Linux can be started and executed at different addresses other than the address typically used for such kernels. An operating system kernel can accommodate end of memory and size of memory that do not comply with normal system specifications. Mechanisms are described that change methods for exception vector handling using a software fix. Dual and/or multi-core systems can run applications in both SMP and ASMP modes without needing any hardware changes. Separate instances or similar copies of an OS such as Linux can be executed on multiple cores in ASMP mode. In SMP mode, Linux or another OS can run as a single instance of the OS.
