Forge
A visual language of heat, steel, and careful shaping: compilers and linkers transform source and objects into executable form.
Project identity
ForgeVM: the forge for virtual-machine and toolchain engineering
A forge for virtual-machine engineering: heat raw ideas, shape instruction semantics, test runtime behavior, and emit usable tools.
Brand meaning
Unify learning and building: articles, books, CPU references, LLVM/GNU notes, linker work, debugger work, and VM internals in one serious workshop.

Product pillars
Virtual Machine
A precise runtime model: bytecode, IR, lowering, calling conventions, memory, and execution traces.
Atlas
A daily reference map for low-level engineers, not a loose blog archive.
Workshop
Every section points to buildable labs, books, command examples, and future ForgeVM tools.
Labs that make the site worth daily visits
Object Explorer
Upload or describe ELF/PE/Mach-O objects, inspect sections, symbols, relocations, imports, and debug metadata.
ABI Comparator
Compare SysV AMD64, Microsoft x64, AAPCS64, and RISC-V psABI with register diagrams and examples.
Instruction Notebook
One instruction across Intel, AT&T, ARM64, and RISC-V syntax with compiler output and debugger views.
Linker Forge
Design notes and tests for symbol resolution, relocation records, section layout, map files, and future ForgeVM linker output.
Debugger Forge
Plan breakpoints, stepping, register windows, memory maps, DWARF/PDB loading, and trace captures.
Book Shelf
Free generated books and polished chapters for assembly, OS internals, LLVM/GNU, and ForgeVM tool building.
