    Record and Replay Framework

    One surprising thing is that the rr debugger don't work, and as far as I understand it can't work without massive slow downs. So while everyone is correct in saying that x86 and arm are both turing complete and you can do everything in both, there are subtle differences that makes something feasible in one architecture and unfeasible in another.

  • QEMU

    Official QEMU mirror. Please see https://www.qemu.org/contribute/ for how to submit changes to QEMU. Pull Requests are ignored. Please only use release tarballs from the QEMU website.

    If you want to create an x86 VM on non-x86 hardware, there's always qemu (I haven't tried it on M1 though).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
