Overview. This figure illustrates an overview of
the Intel family of architectures.The solid underlined features are
implemented in Sim286, the dash underlined feature is implemented
in Sim386.
Sim8088 and Sim286 accept COM input files as input;
Sim386 accepts both COM and ELF input files.

In this section, we provide background for the
Intel family of processors that relate to this work;
in particular, we overview the processors ranging from
the 8086 to the 80386.
We also provide background about previous versions of Simx86
simulators including Sim8088[7],
and Sim286[4].
