QEMU

Registered by Lauro Ramos Venancio

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 PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and s390x guests.

Note: The QEMU project is not using Launchpad anymore. Go to https://www.qemu.org/ for up-to-date information.
