qemu: qemu (open source processor emulator)
qemu:
qemu: QEMU is a generic & open source machine emulator & virtualizer.
qemu: When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes & programs made for
qemu: one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own
qemu: PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performances.
qemu: When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by
qemu: executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. A host driver called
qemu: the QEMU accelerator (also known as KQEMU) is needed in this case. The
qemu: virtualizer mode requires that both the host & guest machine use x86
qemu: compatible processors.
