Running Solaris SPARC on Intel Hardware????

Hello friends,
I hope everyone is fine and doing well. I want to learn Assembly language for SPARC architecture. Is there any emulator available for 64 bit SPARC on which one can install Oracle Solaris 11 SPARC version. And ofcourse on my intel laptop computer???

Thanks!

The have several different prebuilt Oracle Solaris VM's for virtualbox that would allow you to do this. I have atleast three on my windows 7 machine at the moment that I use for a dev/tst environment.

i don't think that you have the sparc edition running on your vbox platform...
