The principles of VAX Hardware Virtualization

In order to make the correct decisions regarding how to apply VAX Hardware Virtualization or Emulation, it is important to make a distinction between the VAX hardware that is virtualized or emulated and the (non-VAX) hardware from the (non-VAX) hardware host platform that carries the VAX Virtualization Software.

Virtualized hardware

CHARON-VAX virtualizes various VAX architectures and meets or exceeds the performance level of these VAX systems when run on the recommended hardware platform. Our VAX emulator product currently contains the following VAX models:
