Abstract

The advent of general purpose emulators as tools for computer architecture research and system development is briefly traced. The concepts of an architectural level emulation and of instrumenting an emulation are introduced. An operational emulation-based computer system development facility is described. The results of a 1976 Independent Research and Development program aimed at improving emulation development time, emulation execution time, and instrumentation flexibility are discussed.
