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. 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 university's Advanced Processor Technologies research group. Silicon Graphics announced QuickTransit’s first availability in October 2004 on its Prism visualization systems. These systems, based on Itanium 2 processors and the Linux operating system, used QuickTransit to transparently run application binaries compiled for previous SGI systems based on the MIPS processor and IRIX operating system. This technology was also licensed by Apple Computer in its transition from PowerPC to Intel (x86) CPUs, starting in 2006.[1] Apple marketed this technology as "Rosetta". In August 2006, IBM announced a partnership with Transitive to run Linux/x86 binaries on its Power ISA-based Power Systems servers.[2] IBM named this software System p AVE during its beta phase,[3] but it was renamed to PowerVM Lx86 upon release. In November 2006, Transitive launched QuickTransit for Solaris/SPARC-to-Linux/x86-64, which enabled unmodified Solaris applications compiled for SPARC systems to run on 64-bit x86-based systems running Linux. This was followed in October 2007 by QuickTransit for Solaris/SPARC-to-Linux/Itanium, which enabled Solaris/SPARC applications to run on Itanium systems running Linux. A third product, QuickTransit for Solaris/SPARC-to-Solaris/x86-64, was released in December 2007, enabling Solaris/SPARC applications to run on 64-bit x86 systems running Solaris. FateIBM acquired Transitive in June 2009 and merged the company into its Power Systems division.[4] While existing customers of other QuickTransit combinations are supported, the only combination still{{when|date=July 2011}} available is the PowerVM Lx86 product.{{cn|date=March 2016}} Apple would remove Rosetta from Mac OS X starting with Mac OS X Lion in 2011.
