“When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs
made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine
(e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very
good performance.

When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native

QEMU can virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, and S390
guests.
