Description:

QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator. By using dynamic translation it
achieves a reasonnable speed while being easy to port on new host
CPUs. QEMU has two operating modes:

- User mode emulation. In this mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes
compiled for one CPU on another CPU. Linux system calls are converted
because of endianness and 32/64 bit mismatches. Wine (Windows
emulation) and DOSEMU (DOS emulation) are the main targets for QEMU.

- Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system,
including a processor and various peripherials. It can also be used to
provide virtual hosting of several virtual PC on a single server.
