KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) is a Linux kernel module that allows a userspace program to utilize the hardware virtualization features of various processors. Today, it supports recent Intel and AMD chips, PPC 440, PPC 970, and S/390 processors.
QEMU can make use of KVM when simulating the target architecture is the same as the host architecture. For instance, when running qemu-system-x86 on an Intel processor, you can take advantage of KVM acceleration.
