[Simh] HP/UX

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

We had three Hewlett-Package PA-RISC machines running HP/UX, but they
were retired before the year 2000, so I no longer have access to any
PA-RISC hardware.  Nor have I even encountered a simulator for that
architecture, though I continue to record VMs at

	http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/vm.html

There is a decent book on the HP PA-RISC architecture that would
likely be crucial for someone attempting to construct a simulator for
it:

@String{pub-PHPTR               = "Pren{\-}tice-Hall PTR"}
@String{pub-PHPTR:adr           = "Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458, USA"}

@Book{Kane:1996:PRA,
  author =       "Gerry Kane",
  title =        "{PA-RISC 2.0} architecture",
  publisher =    pub-PHPTR,
  address =      pub-PHPTR:adr,
  pages =        "various",
  year =         "1996",
  ISBN =         "0-13-182734-0",
  ISBN-13 =      "978-0-13-182734-9",
  LCCN =         "QA76.8.H48K36 1996",
  bibdate =      "Tue Jan 09 12:34:37 2001",
  bibsource =    "http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/master.bib",
  price =        "US\$34.40",
  URL =          "http://devresource.hp.com/devresource/Docs/Refs/PA2_0/index.html;
                 http://devresource.hp.com/devresource/Docs/Refs/PA2_0/updates/index.html",
  acknowledgement = ack-nhfb,
  keywords =     "Hewlett--Packard computers; PA-RISC microprocessors",
}

Kane also wrote similar books for the MIPS architecture.

Although the joint HP-Intel IA-64 (Itanium) architecture is very
different from 32-bit PA-RISC, some of the features of PA-RISC, such
as conditional execution instructions with embedded predicates were
carried over to IA-64.

HP has made available a large collection of manuals for historial HP
machines at
