hsail gate commands

[Deneau, Tom]

OK, I see why there is no error when running 
  mx --vm server unittest hsail

At some point (I don't recall why, maybe at Oracle's request??), we put in some code in KernelTester that if it could not find the okra simulator files would just silently not run the tests (which I guess counts as a pass).

No the hsail simulator is not a java app at all.
The page at https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Sumatra/The+HSAIL+Simulator should describe how to build it and what environment variables to set up to use it...
