But emulation is also used as a stand-alone technology across a broad range of industries. AMD shipped an emulator to get developers working on Opteron/Athlon 64 technology well in advance of the chip's availability. Palmsource, Nokia, and Microsoft bundle device emulators with their mobile development environments, not only to speed development but also to allow coders to validate their software on mobile platforms they don't own. Intel and Transmeta rely on low-level emulation to run 32-bit x86 software on VLIW (very long instruction word) processors.
