  • Testing and debugging new Y architecture code on existing X architecture system by using an environment manager to switch between direct X code execution and simulated Y code execution
    Patent number: 5613098
    Abstract: A process is provided for developing a new computer system based on a new (Y) architecture. A Y computer prototype is developed with a design in accordance with the Y architecture.A multi-code processing system is developed for use on an existing X computer system designed in accordance with an X architecture and having an operative X operating system and operative X support routines. The processing system includes a Y simulator component, a debugger component, and an environment manager component. A Y code module is developed for each of a plurality of predetermined Y program modules during the Y prototype development.The multi-code processing system and at least one of the Y code modules are loaded into the X computer system during the Y prototype development. A related X code module may also be processed for loading into the X computer at the same time.
