You can use qemu by executing 'make sim' in the build directory.

Dispatchers (and other aspects of the barrelfish OS) are discussed in the
technical reports that can be found in the barrelfish web site.
Good starting points are:
 TR #0 overview: http://www.barrelfish.org/TN-000-Overview.pdf
 TR #1 glossary: http://www.barrelfish.org/TN-001-Glossary.pdf
 TR #10 Specification: http://www.barrelfish.org/TN-010-Spec.pdf

cheers,
Kornilios.
