QEMU is a quick emulator written by Fabrice Bellard and available as open software. It enables running a few operating systems at the same time on one machine. It is similar to such projects as Bochs or PearPC, yet it has a few features (e.g. higher speed and support of many CPU architectures) thanks to which it takes over its competitors. Qemu is available with GPL/LPGL. Qemu realizes virtualization by full translation of the processor orders. There are Quemu implementations on various hardware platforms and processors. The micro-course describes the way of installation or using this virtualization system.
