Virtualization works great for x86, AMD64. Less so for others.<br> There is "gxemul" but it is less widely used, probably harder to use, I haven't tried it yet. It might work for MIPS esp.<br>There was a project to remove the assembly code from Sun's Java. As a result, Java is well available on any architecture on Linux.<br>e.g. we have Linux/powerpc, Linux/sparc, and I expect we'll soon have Linux/mips, in Hudson.<br>But so far it is Linux-only where this work can be used, as far as I know.<br>I was thinking we could move the Elego NT386 VM. Probably should run sysprep /generalize on it first.<br><br>Sparc, PowerPC do have some sorts of virtualization, but it is kind of more esoteric and I suspect harder to use.<br> e.g. on Solaris, on AIX.<br><br>I hadn't heard of SimOS and maybe others. More research to do..<br><br>Thanks,<br> - Jay<br><br>> Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 23:00:49 +0000<br>> From: dabenavidesd@yahoo.es<br>> To: m3devel@elegosoft.com; m3@sol42.com<br>> Subject: Re: [M3devel] more Hudson nodes? more help in general?<br>> <br>> Hi all:<br>> well in that case it would be probably less efficient to have running over and over probably if you are brave enough to virtualize it might be possible to load a good server with some virtual machines which later you can teleport like Vbox over a net and run for testing of the concept like you say twice a week. Tere is one in aprticular probably useful for the Irix the SimOS, which run natevely in the IRIX and others now, also other platforms like DEC Alpha and power PC.<br>> I have downloaded an article from computer world library so you can check for details in the efficient virtualization affairs, it requires sign up to grab it (see http://www.vision6.com.au/ch/21104/2d34n3v/1289505/1b836s789.html ) so you can have it from here (just accept secure certificate and agree to add an exception):<br>> https://168.176.86.16/~danielb/Virtualization_APC.pdf<br>> As for the JVM you can have Loongson JVM for free ( http://debian.printk.org/software-loongson/jvm/jdk15_mips_080103.tar.gz ) in those machines to do the JVM part of the job, though not sure if hat works for your needs and available resources and system implementation.<br>> <br>> Thanks in advance <br>> <br>> <br>> --- El lun, 9/8/10, m3@sol42.com <m3@sol42.com> escribió:<br>> <br>> > De: m3@sol42.com <m3@sol42.com><br>> > Asunto: Re: [M3devel] more Hudson nodes? more help in general?<br>> > Para: "m3devel" <m3devel@elegosoft.com><br>> > Fecha: lunes, 9 de agosto, 2010 15:17<br>> > Hello.
