@chapter Introduction
QEMU is an x86 processor emulator. Its purpose is to run x86 Linux
processes on non-x86 Linux architectures such as PowerPC. By using
dynamic translation it achieves a reasonnable speed while being easy to
port on new host CPUs. Its main goal is to be able to launch the

QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator. Its purpose is to run Linux executables
compiled for one architecture on another. For example, x86 Linux
processes can be ran on PowerPC Linux architectures. By using dynamic

new host CPUs. Its main goal is to be able to launch the @code
