Amdahl has a System V based Unix which runs on Amdahl (and IBM-compatible)
hardware.  It's the "Most powerful Unix machine in the world" native, and
it also runs under VM (though not as fast).  Amdahl's hardware is faster
than IBM's, so it beats an Unix IBM has (yet) to deliver.

Sorry, i don't think we've written any papers on the subject of running
under VM.  There's really not alot to say, aside from paying attention to
all the idiosyncracies of whatever VM you're running under, in order to
get decent performance.  It's particularly hard to get decent performance
using virtual memory as a "Virtual Operating System".
