Running a debugger like gdb with real-mode 16-bit code on the x86 platform is not the easiest thing to do, but incredibly useful when it comes to analyzing BIOS firmware and DOS software. Although ...

Boston provides the tools to port x86 code to ARM, which can then be tested over the cloud, reducing the need to buy an ARM server.

Microsoft is bringing ARM support to Windows 10--only this time, ARM devices will run x86 code at near-native speed, thanks to a clever emulation layer.

China’s Loongson Technology has designed two 64-bit, quad-core Mips processors that can also execute code based on the x86 (Intel-compatible) and ARM architectures.

The user interface and many other modifications come from Jide. And the developers leveraged Android-x86 project code to add compatibility with computers featuring Intel and AMD processors.

But Itanium suffered from its slow execution of 32-bit x86 code, making for a disruptive transition. When AMD stepped forward with a 64-bit extension of the x86 instruction set that could address ...

One remaining question is how well the new combination of Windows and Qualcomm's CPU will handle legacy x86 code. Apple has managed that transition particularly well with its silicon.

BUT, it would be possible to write an application that would lurk on the correct port, take in a process, execute it (since x86 code is x86 code), push system calls back over to the linux box to ...

The emulator exploits native versions of some system libraries, such as libc, libm, SDL, and OpenGL, using dynamic recompilation (dynarec) to translate x86 code on the fly.

Comstar can repurpose any OpenSolaris-based x86 server into a block-based storage device capable of emulating the physical characteristics of a storage array ...

Legal constraints meant it went to Arm Nvidia’s Project Denver was supposed to be based on x86 tech, but things took a turn thanks to legal wranglings involving Transmeta’s Tokamak technology ...

Intel is providing programming tools to bring MIC extensions to existing x86 code. There are other parallel programming models that harness the computing power of accelerators like GPUs.
