How to run C++ applications on a bare PC?

Most of the computer applications today run on a given operating system environment. The application programs written in a programming language such as C++ are intertwined with operating system and environment to run on a given machine. Thus, a C++ program requires a processor such as an Intel Pentium and an Operating system such as a Microsoft Windows. Why do we have to run applications in such a constrained environment? It may be because, that is how evolution of computing happened since the inception of personal computers in the 80's. In this paper, we describe details on how to run C++ applications on a bare machine. We provide some benefits of running applications on a bare machine without any operating system. We present some sample applications that are built to demonstrate the capability of running C++ applications on a bare machine. Finally, we describe our future research direction that may potentially offer a revolution in computing architecture and application development.
