The IBM POWER9 Functional Simulator is a simulation environment developed by IBM.
|
||
|
|
It is designed to provide enough POWER9 processor complex functionality to allow the entire software stack to execute,
|
||
|
|
including loading, booting and running a little endian Linux environment.
|
||
|
|
The intent for this tool is to educate, enable new application development,
|
||
|
|
and to facilitate porting of existing Linux applications to the POWER9 architecture.
|
||
|
|
While the IBM POWER9 Functional Simulator serves as a full instruction set simulator for the POWER9 processor,
|
||
|
|
it may not model all aspects of the IBM Power Systems POWER9 hardware and thus may not exactly reflect the behavior of the POWER9 hardware.
