For instance, let's say your workstation is a Unix/X11 workstation, but you want to run Win'95 applications. It cant hurt to use more than one emulator (or several), in order to test your OS on a variety of platforms without using. This comparison is just to point out their differences. None of them are necessarily 'better' than the others.

This allows you to run OS's and software within the emulator on your workstation, much like you have a machine inside of a machine. Bochs is by far the slowest, but that is because of its full emulation, which gives it the highest accuracy.

For Lab 1, we will use Bochs as the default emulator and for Lab 2-4, we will use QEMU as the default emulator.

The 'typical' use of bochs is to provide complete x86 PC emulation, including the x86 processor, hardware devices, and memory. Thanks Bochs (with 2 CPUs and HT) running Windows XP (700k) - From Stanislav Shwartsman (1) Bochs running Windows 2000 (70k) - From Viorel Canja Windows 1. Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. Bochs: Bochs is slower than QEMU but provides full emulation (i.e., higher accuracy). The use of this is no longer supported in system emulators. Bochs was originally written by Kevin Lawton and is currently maintained by this project.īochs can be compiled and used in a variety of modes, some which are still in development. Changes in 2. You can however force the write back to the raw disk images by using the commit monitor. Bochs can be compiled to emulate many different x86 CPUs, from early 386 to the most recent x86-64 Intel and AMD processors which may even not reached the market yet.īochs is capable of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation including Linux, DOS or Microsoft Windows. It includes emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS.
