By using dynamic translation, -it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen -and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the -hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve -near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is -capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7 -board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board). - -QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux -and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one -architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a -different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not -involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation. - -QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly -by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings. -It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management -layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API. -It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using -open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager. +Wind River QEMU has improved support for +`VxWorks `_ and +`Wind River Helix Virtualization Platform `_. +This is a fork of the community QEMU project, rebased on the +latest stable upstream branch.
