The IBM Full-System Simulator, internally referred to as “Mambo,” has been developed and refined by the
IBM Austin Research Lab (ARL) in conjunction with several large system design projects built upon the
IBM Power architecture. As an execution-driven, full-system simulator, the IBM Full-System Simulator has
facilitated the experimentation and evaluation of a wide variety of system components for core IBM
initiatives. The IBM Full-System Simulator for PowerPC 970, available from the IBM alphaWorks
Emerging Technologies web site, enables development teams both within IBM and externally to
simulate a PowerPC 970 system in order to develop and enhance application support for this platform.
