Complete operating systems normally don‘t require a host OS to run on, nor can they tolerate the presence of another operating system. On PikeOS, however, a host OS can run in user-space, in non-privileged mode.

• Linux (Kernel 2.6.)
• µITRON
• OSEK
• Legacy RTOS

Execution runtime environments need an OS host. With PikeOS RTOS runtime environments have their own schedulers and communication processes. Therefore, runtime environments run without losing performance.

• POSIX (PSE51, PSE52)
• Java (Aicas' Jamaica and Aonix's PERC)
• Ada (Aonix's Object Ada and AdaCore's GNATPro)
• IData (Quantum 3D)
• others

Application programming interfaces (APIs) provide an interface used to access underlying functionality.
