Poly SPARC

I was looking for some assembly language simulators for ARM. Open sources preferable (free!) so after a lot of trial and error,  I found that QEMU was the solution I was looking for. here is a short description  of QEMU. "QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer. When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests." (source : http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page ) We dint have a simulation environment set up in our school for running ARM programs. So i decided to get myself one because i knew there were a number of open sourced hardware ...
