Ways to emulate SPARC+Solaris on an x86.

• QEMU
  • may work, but that's probably uber-slow
  • Solaris won't boot on it
• QuickTransit
  • the version that's commercially available now is much slimmed-down, and no longer supports SPARC guests
  • the older version (that supported SPARC guests) is no longer available
• Simics
  • Yes, Solaris will run on it
  • it's reportedly very slow
  • somebody posted a public copy here
  • TODO: what's the cost?
• SAM (SPARC Architecture Model)
  • "[it's] a full system simulator that is able to boot Hypervisor, OBP(Open Boot PROM) and Solaris and run applications"
