Name        : qemu

Product     : Fedora 25

Version     : 2.7.1

Release     : 6.fc25

URL         : http://www.qemu.org/

Summary     : QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator

Description :

QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator which achieves a good

emulation speed by using dynamic translation. QEMU has two operating modes:



 * Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for

   example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. It can be

   used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the PC or

   to debug system code.

 * User mode emulation. In this mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled

   for one CPU on another CPU.



As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is safe and easy to use.
