Currently, Century-64 is in its infancy. It has limited functionality and no user interface.

However, I hope Century-64 to be feature-rich. The current capability is as follows:

  • Long mode support (64-bit addressing [see note 1])
  • Support for 256TB physical memory
  • Support for 256TB virtual memory
  • Support for 16TB kernel heap

Note 1: Current CPU limitations are 48-bit addresses.
