The IBM POWER10 Functional Simulator is a simulation environment developed by IBM. It is designed to provide enough POWER10 processor complex functionality to allow the entire software stack to execute, including loading, booting and running a little endian Linux environment. The intent for this tool is to educate, enable new application development, and to facilitate porting of existing Linux applications to the POWER10 architecture. While the IBM POWER10 Functional Simulator serves as a full instruction set simulator for the POWER10 processor, it may not model all aspects of the IBM Power Systems POWER10 hardware and thus may not exactly reflect the behavior of the POWER10 hardware.
