| has gloss | eng: The Hercules emulator is a computer program which allows software designed for IBM mainframe computers (System/370, System/390 and zSeries) to be run on other types of computer hardware: notably on low-cost personal computers. Although there are other mainframe emulators which perform a similar function, Hercules is significant in that it enables private individuals to run mainframe computer software on their own personal computers. Hercules runs under multiple operating systems including Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, Solaris and Mac OS X and is released under the open source software license QPL. It emulates the CPU and peripheral device hardware only; the operating system has to be supplied by the user. Hercules was notably the first mainframe emulator to incorporate 64-bit z/Architecture support, beating out commercial offerings. |
