Abstract
Methods and systems for use in executing a software application using a virtual machine (VM). A hardware description language (HDL) description of a target hardware platform is determined. A programmable hardware component is configured to be functionally equivalent to the target hardware platform based on the HDL description. The software application is executed using the configured programmable hardware component, such as by executing the software application in a VM that is, in turn, executed by the configured programmable hardware component.
