ADF File System Architectures
The following platform architectures have been tested and used both for
functionality testing of the ADF core software libraries and for testing
and running the prototype.

[In the table, "Endian" refers to the ordering of bytes in a multi-byte
number.
Big endian is a computer architecture in which, within a given
multi-byte numeric representation, the most significant byte has the
lowest address (the word is stored "big-end-first").
Little endian is a computer architecture in which, within a given 16- or
32-bit word, bytes at lower addresses have lower significance (the word
is stored "little-end-first").]
