Qemu Cpu Emulator |
|
Qemu is an emulator, which makes it more powerful in many respects, but with much worse performance than pure (para/)virtualization solutons. A closed source addon (the Accelerator) aims to reduce this performance gap.
Supports PPC, X86, UserModeLinux (COW) Disk Images
"QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator which achieves a good emulation speed by using dynamic translation.
QEMU has two operating modes: Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the PC or to debug system code. User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU . An optional proprietary QemuAcceleratorModule* is available to optimize the case where a PC is emulated on a PC. This module enables QEMU to run most of the target application code directly on the host processor to achieve near native performance. "
