QuickTransit is dynamic binary translation software developed by Transitive Corporation. It allows software compiled for one specific processor and operating system combination to be executed on a different processor and/or operating system architecture without source code or binary changes.
Silicon Graphics announced QuickTransit’s first availability in October 2004 on its Prism visualization systems. These systems, which use Itanium 2 processors and the Linux operating system, use QuickTransit to transparently run application binaries compiled for previous SGI systems based on the MIPS processor and IRIX operating system.
This technology has also been licensed by Apple Computer[1] in its successful transition from PowerPC to Intel (x86) CPUs, starting in 2006. Apple markets this technology as "Rosetta".
More recently, IBM announced a partnership with Transitive to run Linux/x86 binaries on its Power Architecture based System p machines. IBM is calling this software System p AVE.
In November 2006, Transitive launched QuickTransit® for Solaris™/SPARC®-to-Linux®/x86-64, which enables unmodified native Solaris/SPARC applications to run on 64-bit Linux/x86-based systems.
QuickTransit® is an extension of the Dynamite technology developed by the University of Manchester Parallel Architectures and Languages research group, which now forms part of the Advanced Processor Technologies research group at the University of Manchester
