[Qemu-devel] qemu (cvs-version) performance?

2006-08-20 Thread Sven Köhler
Hi, i'd like to know, what the qemu-project aims at. Do the authers aim at writing (together with kqemu or qv86) an alternative to VMWare? (At least in the x86 virtualization case) I first thought that way and i still hope that, but i was disappointed by qemu 0.8.0 and the latest version from CVS

Hi, sorry for bothering, but the last time i heard something about asyn IO was on Feb 2nd. Fabrice said: [quote] I have at least 5 items on my TODO list : 1) New kqemu which virtualizes both user and kernel code (currently in alpha stage but not released yet). 2) DMA block I/O (merged) 3) async b
