In other words, lots of emulation related fodder to discuss.Īs fictional Professor Farnsworth on Futurama likes to say, 'Good news everyone!'. Since the Memorial Day long weekend I have been poking around with the latest releases of Bochs 2.4.5, QEMU 0.12.4, Visual Studio 2010, Fedora 13 Linux, VirtualBox 3.2.4, VMware Workstation 7.1, GCC 4.5.0, and revisiting some older emulation in the form of WinQEMU 0.10.5 and Microsoft's Virtual PC 7.02 for Mac.

I had a lot of fun there, enjoyed presenting at the CGO conference on their behalf in Toronto this spring, shared my thoughts with a lot of smart hardware engineers, and hopefully some of my ideas about the x86 architecture rubbed off on them enough to appear in future Intel processors years down the road. Īfter an 18-month stint at chip maker Intel involving many a crazy 80-hour work week, I decided to hand in my resignation last month and return back to the software world.
