hi friends.
i have a program that has compiled in sparc station but i need to run it in a PC. Does anyway exist to executing that program in the X64/86 with any OS?
i haven't access to source of program and i have to run it in a PC. but i can install proportional operating system on my PC.
Can i use brandZ container?
thanks for your replies.

Rep:
Brandz allows running programs within the same architecture but x86 and SPARC are absolutely incompatible. You would need a SPARC simulator and a SPARC H/W virtual machine. There are several simulators available but I doubt anything that mimic the hardware is available. Qemu is probably the closest but doesn't boot Solaris (yet?).
i use simics for simulating sun sparc and i can install sol-10 and 9 successfully. i suggest this application, try it this is best emulator that i found. but i need better performance to presenting my program. what do you think about "Quick transit"?

Rep:
Both simics and Quick Transit are proprietary closed source commercial products. As I'm not one of their customers nor do I know any of them, I have no opinion about these emulators.
