Summary

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

Description

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 performances 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, and S390 guests.

NOTES

• Sometimes an update is provided by the developers for one of the architecture, but the other is left as is. This means some times either one of the installers to match the package version due to not needing to be updated. This usually happens for the 32bit installer.
