Hercules is a computer emulator allowing software written for IBM mainframe computers (System/370, System/390, and zSeries/System z) and for plug compatible mainframes (such as Amdahl machines) to run on other types of computer hardware, notably on low-cost personal computers. Development started in 1999 by Roger Bowler, a mainframe systems ...
Hercules, an open source emulator for the System/370, System/390, and z/Architecture instruction sets. It does however require a complete operating system in order to execute application programs. It does however require a complete operating system in order to execute application programs.
VM (often: VM/CMS) is a family of IBM virtual machine operating systems used on IBM mainframes System/370, System/390, zSeries, System z and compatible systems, including the Hercules emulator for personal computers.
There are at least three software-based IBM Z mainframe emulators. FLEX-ES from Fundamental Software is a commercially offered option, limited to 31-bit addressing. [39] The open source Hercules emulator supports Linux on IBM Z (and can even run on Linux on System z itself).
Multiple Virtual Storage, more commonly called MVS, is the most commonly used operating system on the System/370, System/390 and IBM Z IBM mainframe computers.IBM developed MVS, along with OS/VS1 and SVS, as a successor to OS/360.
FLEX-ES, zPDT and the Hercules emulator also implement z/Architecture. Hitachi mainframes running newer releases of the VOS3 operating system implement ESA/390 plus Hitachi-unique CPU instructions, including a few 64-bit instructions. While Hitachi formally collaborated with IBM on the z900-G2/z800 CPUs introduced in 2002, Hitachi's machines ...
Jay Maynard (born July 27, 1960) is an American computer programmer, system administrator and the volunteer project maintainer for Hercules, a free emulator of IBM mainframe hardware. He is known for his self-made electroluminescent costume based on the film Tron, which resulted in his nickname Tron Guy.
Hercules is purely a hardware emulator. It needs an OS to run on it, just as a hardware mainframe does. It can run MVS, Linux, VM/370...and z/OS, too. -- Jay Maynard 17:28, 29 May 2012 (UTC) Aha. thanks. Gronky 20:38, 29 May 2012 (UTC) Improving the article will take a bit more research.
