Subject: [9fans] simh old computer simulator
Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2010 12:27:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=FdxB2Sa93-dRbGRWD=Trweh=cMPhOeZmiFm7f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I have ported simh 3.8-1 to plan9.
It currently has the following issues
1. Since I am on christmas break, i dont have access to my cpu server.
all testing was done on 9vx
2. 9vx seems to do wierd stuff if you keep the cpu load at 100% for
too long, so i had to implement a simple idling routine. set throttle
also works but i preferred having a dynamic load change.( i'm using
rons 9vx bitbucket stuff by the way.)
3. simh had it's own idling, but it looked like I needed to get into
the code deeper than I thought is necessary.
4. compiling the pdp10 seems to kill 9vx. compiling vax still had a
few gnu-ish preprocessor directives that prevents it from being
compiled.
5. I dont know much about socket programming so i am not sure if it's
working. When I try to run it with telnet it cannot open up a port. I
will proabably send a separate email asking about ape sockets later.
to build
gunzip simh-p9.tgz
tar x simh-p9.tar
cd simh-p9
plan9/build
this only compiles the ones i care about excluding pdp10 and vax
plan9/build_all
tries to build everything.
