Something similar has been discussed previously. I found one good quote from Andy: 2010/12/13 andy pugh <[email protected]>:. > > The other alternative would be to write a new interpreter. > I think that this suggestion would work here too, because it was mentioned that running EMC on a virtual machine will have enormous jitter. With all due respect to members of EMC community, I doubt that we can fix that, so I think that Your second suggestion on virtualization is denied. I think that instead of trying to reinvent the wheel and run several instances of EMC on a single PC and getting into trouble of synchronizing them, I think that investigating the option of expanding current capabilities of interpreter and adding few more axes might be easier. As Andy mentioned, joints_axes_3 branch already should allow for a total number of joints to exceed 9.
