After much hullabaloo, and a bit of pounding on the code, the Ski ia64 instruction set simulator is now available as open source, thanks to the efforts of the folks at HP. For those that have never heard of Ski, it was originally written by the Hewlett-Packard Company. It simulates the IA-64 architecture as defined by the Intel Itanium 2 architecture manuals. This is not a full platform simulator; i.e., no system chipset or PCI bus simulation is done. However, Ski supports the full instruction set of the architecture, including privileged instructions and associated semantics. While the Ski binaries have been available from HP for quite some time, this is the first time that the source has been made available. You can find Ski at http://ski.sourceforge.net As always, patches and corrections are welcome... -- Ciao, al ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Al Stone Alter Ego: E-mail: ahs3@ahs3.net Debian Developer -or- http://www.debian.org E-mail: ahstone@comcast.net ahs3@debian.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------
