QEMU v10.1.0-rc3 has been released. QEMU is an open-source machine emulator and virtualizer that allows users to run operating systems and programs from one machine type (e.g., ARM) on another (e.g., PC) through dynamic translation for optimal performance. In virtualizer mode, it achieves near-native performance by executing guest code directly on the host CPU, requiring a host driver called the QEMU accelerator (KQEMU), which is necessary when both the host and guest machines use x86-compatible processors. Download the release from the official source.
QEMU v10.1.0-rc3 has been released. QEMU is a versatile and open-source machine emulator and virtualizer. When functioning as a machine emulator, QEMU can run operating systems and applications designed for one machine (e.g., an ARM board) on another (e.g., your personal computer). It utilizes dynamic translation to deliver impressive performance. In its role as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near-native performance by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. For this, a host driver called the QEMU accelerator (also referred to as KQEMU) is required. The virtualizer mode necessitates that both the host and guest machines utilize x86-compatible processors.
