Issue I465 [80,mostlyresolved] Formal support for Parallels on Intel-based Mac OS X. OVERVIEW: As of December 2007, SIS is formally supporting running the Windows version of SIMION 8.0.x on Intel-based Mac OS X via a third-party application called Parallels Desktop for Mac ( http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/ ). This means that this combination generally runs quite well, and has been tested by SIS. You could run into a few minor issues as discussed below, but SIS can help with some setup questions and intends to patch SIMION if any significant incompatibilities are discovered. For other methods of running SIMION on a Mac, see Issue I463. VERSION COMPATIBILITY: SIS testing was performed on the following configuration. Newer versions, as well as older versions, likely work as well (or better), and other users have already successfully tried other versions. Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac on Intel-based Mac OS X 10.4. running Windows 2000. SIMION 8.0.3/8.0.4. PERFORMANCE: Refining and flying run at roughly native speeds. MEMORY: PA size of 125M points works. Using --reserved-memory only allows minor increases (e.g. 150M points).
