Simulated processor

This evening I have discovered the processor’s specifications in the simulated environment. In the simulator console we can enter commands once the simulator is launched (the console is not responding if pause is on, so we must run the sim). In fact this is other linux kernel that has been launched inside fedora core 7. In the /proc directory the answer can be found:

[root@(none) proc]# more /proc/cpuinfo
