Simics for Intel Architecture

• Prototyping: Try before you build by using virtual platforms for prototyping.
• Board and system bring-up: Bring up BIOS, systems, and boards faster than with physical hardware.
• Target access for entire team: Provide a virtual platform of the entire system to every team member, even those geographically dispersed.
• More efficient debugging: Use unique features to debug your target more efficiently than with physical hardware.
• Fault injection: Inject hardware and system faults such as memory corruption, a bad Ethernet card, periodic reset, and intermittent network connectivity.
• System level testing and debugging: Test your product in the context of the complete networked system. 
• Management of multiple hardware variants: Easily configure many different virtual hardware variants to support a diverse user base.

Key features include the following:

• Models of Intel® architecture devices created by experts at Intel
• Ability to scale from one to hundreds of processors, from a single board to a complete custom heterogeneous system
• Control of virtual target time: stop, slow down, speed up, even reverse
• Repeatable and deterministic environment
• Record-and-replay system execution
• Symmetric/asymmetric OS installations
• Ability to run complete, unmodified software, including BIOS
• Simulation of Intel virtualization technologies
