Nova 3 emulator on the Stanford Emmy system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6531054
A Nova 3 emulator based on the Emmy host machine of the Stanford Emulation Laboratory is described. This is a ''class A'' code emulator (emulates user-accessible aspects of the Nova 3) and includes a basic set of emulated peripherals, such as paper tape, TTY, and real-time clock. Of particular interest is the software interface between the emulator and the laboratory peripheral system via the UNIX operating system. Through this interface the emulator user may employ the full power of UNIX to create, organize, and access files, while he uses the Emmy host for efficient emulation. Instruction times for the Nova emulation are provided together with an analysis of the host's effectiveness in supporting the emulation. An appendix describes the emulation of the Nova 3 front panel for laboratory users interested in operating the emulator.
