The Hercules emulator is a computer program which allows software designed for IBM mainframe computers (System/370, System/390 and zSeries) to be run on other types of computer hardware: notably on low-cost personal computers. Although there are other mainframe emulators which perform a similar function, Hercules is significant in that it enables private individuals to run mainframe computer software on their own personal computers.
