One way is to use computer system simulators that are capable of
either modelling multiple concurrent systems internally, or are able
to support external parallelism.  While our "sid" simulator (see
sources.redhat.com) is capable of both the former and the latter, the
difficulty comes in modelling the interconnected I/O mechanisms (as
opposed to the concurrent independent systems).  What is the physical
channel in question?
