[edit] Peter S. Magnusson

Hi, I'm Peter S. Magnusson, have been using the "psm" id since around 1979 (you know, "Asteroids"). On wiki I've dabbled a bit in measurement systems, processor technology, simulation/virtualization technology, and the odd other item. I really should spend some more time on VM topics since I actually know a little about that. My current principal home page is at petersmagnusson.com.

I was the original developer of Simics and founded Virtutech (www.virtutech.com) in 1998. Virtutech Simics pioneered high-end simulation of electronic systems, and perhaps most notably was used for the 64-bit ports of both Linux and Windows, the design of the Niagara processor by Afara (now Sun) and initial 64-bit port of Solaris, and currently the IBM Power series systems. Simics was based off my research at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (where curiously enough my first web page from 1994 is still up). Students and faculty at over 1000 universities and colleges worldwide have downloaded Simics over the years.

I remain active on the board of Virtutech, but I'm currently mostly working on developing a new startup (stay tuned).

I live in Cupertino, CA, and can be reached at petersmagnusson (the usual email thingy) yahoo (dot) com.

My Linkedin profile is petersmagnusson

I keep a blog at http://petersmagnusson.com

I am interested in helping out with Wiki in general. My interests vary, but in general I enjoy technology, computer science, history, politics, business. Plus, controversial topics are fun.

Below is a fairly complete personal/virtutech/simics bibliography, included here to serve as simple reference point for Wikipedia:Notability_criteria purposes.
