Abstract
A system for providing access to an application running on a computer simulation. The system has a first computing device that has a simulation program for simulating a second computing device. On top of the simulation program, the first computing device runs a software application that normally executes on the hardware of the second computing device. The first computing device also grants access to multiple users simultaneously to separate instantiations of the simulation software program and the software application.
Claims25
A system for providing access to an application running on a computer simulation, comprising:
- a first computing device having a simulation program for simulating a second computing device;
- said first computing device for executing, on said simulation program, a software application that normally executes on hardware of said second computing device;
- and
- wherein said first computing device is further for granting simultaneous access to multiple users to separate instantiations of said simulation program and said software application.
A method of providing access to a software simulation, comprising:
- a) accepting a user login to a first computing device;
- b) instantiating a software simulation of a second computing device on said first computing device;
- and
- c) in response to a user request, initiating execution of a software application on said software simulation of said second computing device.
A web-based system for providing access to an application running on a computer simulation, comprising:
- a web-based server;
- a software simulation program for simulating a high-end computing device;
- an application program that is designed to execute on said high-end computing device executing on said simulation software program;
- and
- wherein said web-based server is accessible by a plurality of users executing their own instantiations of said software application executing on separate instantiations of said simulation program, wherein said instantiations of said software application appear to be executing on said users own versions of said high-end computing device.
