4 Supported Components
The following sections list components that are supported for the SunFire
architecture. There also exist other components in Simics, such as various
PCI devices, that may work for SunFire but that have not been tested.
The default machines are constructed from components in the
-system.include files in
[simics]/targets/sunfire/. See the
Configuration and Checkpointing chapter in the Simics User Guide for
information on how to define your own machine, or make modifications
to an existing machine.
