System emulation with QEMU
نویسنده
چکیده
QEMU is an open source emulator for complete PC systems. In addition to emulating a processor, QEMU permits emulation of all necessary subsystems, such as networking and video hardware. It also permits emulation of advanced concepts, such as symmetric multiprocessing systems (up to 255 CPUs) and other processor architectures, such as ARM or PowerPC. This article explores QEMU and its architecture and shows how to emulate a guest operating system on a Linux® host.

QEMU, a Fast and Portable Dynamic Translator
We present the internals of QEMU, a fast machine emulator using an original portable dynamic translator. It emulates several CPUs (x86, PowerPC, ARM and Sparc) on several hosts (x86, PowerPC, ARM, Sparc, Alpha and MIPS). QEMU supports full system emulation in which a complete and unmodified operating system is run in a virtual machine and Linux user mode emulation where a Linux process compiled...
متن کاملAtomic Instruction Translation Towards A Multi-Threaded QEMU
In the context of system emulation, the sophistication of the emulator usually grows with the complexity of the target system model. Particularly, emulating precisely a certain CPU architecture can introduce many challenges that have to be properly explored and somehow solved to reach an accurate emulation of the target system. In this paper we present an implementation design of ARM atomic ins...
متن کاملA Choices Hypervisor on the ARM architecture
Choices is an object oriented operating system that runs on the x86 and ARM architectures. The aim of this project is to build a hypervisor using Choices on the ARM architecture. In this project we aim to build a hypervisor on the QEMU emulator emulating the ARM7 architecture using a VMX approach. We have selected as guest operating system a small Linux image. The primary goal of the system is ...

متن کاملFVD: A High-Performance Virtual Machine Image Format for Cloud
Fast Virtual Disk (FVD) is a new virtual machine (VM) image format and the corresponding block device driver developed for QEMU. QEMU does I/O emulation for multiple hypervisors, including KVM, Xen-HVM, and VirtualBox. FVD is a holistic solution for both Cloud and non-Cloud environments. Its feature set includes flexible configurability, storage thin provisioning without a host file system, com...
