XIPTECH Comparing with other simulators

Service

The word "simulators" include all products, which simulate a platform with CPU and devices. Some of them are called emulator or virtual machine.

Performance To our knowledge, Xiptech simulator is the best.
Integrality Xiptech simulator allows all types of CPU to simulate each other. We are as good as other excellent products in this field.
Facticity Xiptech simulator is not as "real" as some other products. Our simulator doesn't emulate pipelines, nor emulate every pin signal of real hardware. Our goal is let firmware, OS, drivers and applications run on simulator. Sometimes we will cheat them, just let them go on.
Expansibility Xiptech simulator is excellent. It provides powerful APIs. Users can write modules for it in C language. Some other products offer expand interface easier to be used, like writing script files and use graphic interface. We don't use them because we think they will slow down the simulator. And we offer as much expansibility as they do.
Porting We have to acknowledge that Xiptech simulator is more difficult to be ported than some of others, which use interpreter as their core. Because we use JIT complier, we must write a new back-end for every new target CPU. To improve the speed, we just cannot share many codes between different target. Fortunately, this is just a problem of us, not of our clients.
