CHARON-11 permits the execution of the original, unmodified PDP-11 binary code on a modern platform.

CHARON-11 emulates most standard PDP-11 components and executes the PDP-11 operating systems and applications just like a hardware PDP-11.

The performance of modern hardware platforms more than compensates for the emulator overhead, and your existing application executes on CHARON-11 much faster than the fastest PDP-11 ever built by Digital Equipment Corporation.

 
 

Software Resources International (SRI) has developed, owns and sells CHARON-11, the PDP-11 system emulator that runs as a software application on a host system like Windows NT. While CHARON-11 replaces your PDP-11 hardware, you can use the original PDP-11 operating systems and applications without any change. CHARON-11 creates a complete 'virtual PDP-11' for you, running up to 10 times as fast as a PDP 11/93. You can download a demo version of CHARON-11 here.

CHARON-11 licenses and turn-key projects are fully supported by SRI's engineering center, and available directly from us or via distributors in various parts of the world.

CHARON-11 is specially designed to replace complex industrial control systems with special hardware attached. You can even reconnect your existing terminals and special UNIbus or Qbus peripherals. Due to its speed (a typical system boots in less than one minute), CHARON-11 provides a very fast PDP-11 software development environment, which you can run on a laptop computer.
