A Case Study Of Computer Emulation*
T.A. Marsland, John Charles. Demco · INFOR Information Systems and Operational Research · 1978
Through the design and construction of an emulator for DEC PDP-11 computers, the extent to which the Nanodata QM-f can serve as a universal host is being explored. The principal results show the extent to which emulation is possible without excessive sacrifices in speed. In addition to insights into the construction of a complete emulator, the paper identifies important problems associated with concurrent emulation of different target hardware, and describes solutions to some of them.
