Linux Sparc V9 code optimazation

To any Sparc guru,

This question relates to the effect of instruction alignment on a Sparc's
Prefetch/Dispatch unit.

Just how exactly does the branch prediction bits for instruction pairs in
the I-Cache utilized.

I'm trying to figure out the consequences of an odd word fetch into an
Instruction cache line with a the fourth
instruction being another branch.

Please cc me as I am currently not on the mailing list.

1. Sparc v9 emulator?

Hello,

I'm looking for a Sparc v9 emulator for either DOS/Windows or Solaris
x86.  By emulator I mean an interpreter program that supports v9
assembly instructions and conventions, does syntax/error checking, and
does some [limited] execution of code.  Anyone heard of such a beast?

Thanks.
