System programming
(or
systems programming
) is the activity of
programming
computer
system software
. The primary distinguishing characteristic of systems programming when compared to
application programming
is that application programming aims to produce software which provides services to the user directly (e.g.

), whereas systems programming aims to produce software and
software platforms
which provide services to other software, are performance constrained, or usually both (e.g.
operating systems
,
computational science
applications,
game engines
and
AAA video game
s, industrial automation, and
software as a service
applications).
