Expanding the Felix86 emulator
x86 and x86-64 userspace emulator for RISC-V Linux
Felix86 is an open-source x86 and x86-64 userspace emulator for RISC-V Linux. By enabling the high-performance execution of complex x86 and x86-64 applications, including Windows software via Wine, Felix86 removes a large barrier to adopting the open-standard RISC-V architecture for personal computing: legacy software dependence. The emulator implements a fast Just-In-Time recompiler that translates x86 machine code to optimized RISC-V code, while utilizing many RISC-V extensions such as the vector extension for SIMD operations. This project will help us support AVX and AVX2 with RISC-V vector, improve compatibility with Linux signals, support programs that use ptrace,
