Simulation equipment and simulation method and computer readable recording medium

摘要

An emulation apparatus and method in which software containing both instructions and data from a given computer of a given architecture is converted into software to be executed on another computer with a different type of architecture. This is accomplished by a target source software holding section holding the source code to be converted. Then a program data conversion processing section sequentially converts the software program from a starting address to an address in which a branch instruction is contained. The main software is held by a main software holding section. A conversion state registering section registers identification data showing if the program data to be converted is already converted for each corresponding address.
