From QEMU
Revision as of 13:22, 23 November 2016 by Mdroth (talk | contribs) (→‎News)

QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.

When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance.

When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performance by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, S390, 32-bit and 64-bit ARM, and MIPS guests.

QEMU is a member of Software Freedom Conservancy.
