Aries - PA-RISC Binary Support
HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20) includes Aries: HP’s transparent binary
compatibility solution for HP-UX/PA-RISC applications on
HP-UX/Itanium platforms. Aries allows PA-RISC applications written
for HP-UX releases up to (and including) HP-UX 11i (B.11.11) to run on
Itanium-based systems running HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20). Aries
supports both 32-bit and 64-bit PA-RISC applications.
Aries is composed of 4 shared libraries.
• aries32.so
• pa_boot32.so
• aries64.so
• pa_boot64.so
The following applications and/or behaviors are not supported:
• emulation of debuggers
• emulation of privileged PA-RISC instructions
• HP-UX/IPF applications that attempt to use HP-UX/PA-RISC shared
libraries or vice-versa
• correct operation of timing-dependent applications
