[Qemu-devel] x86 Virtualization

[Dave Feustel]

Are there any plans to add to qemu the capability to simulate the 
Intel Vanderpool and AMD Pacifica hardware virtualization facilities?

Thanks,

You'd think that people would check the mailing list archives before asking
the same questions that others have asked over and over again.

Thanks for the suggestion. It hadn't occurred to me to look for an archive,
but I have it bookmarked now.

I don't remember seeing this question asked before (as opposed to whether QEmu 
will *use* VT / Pacifica, which comes up a lot).

Cheers,

Have you seen AMD's SimNow?  Not quite what you want, I know, but better than 
nothing ;-)

Cheers,

I downloaded SimNow and was in the midst of installing it before I realized that
it would only work on AMD64 computers running Linux. I have a 32-bit machine
running OpenBSD. ( I'm now wearing my eyeglasses again. :-) )

I have had such good results even with the downlevel 0.6.1 qemu (and I'm in the 
process of upgrading to 7.1/7.2) that I am no longer looking at any other simulators.

Looks like SimNow is only for Linux and Windows XP AMD64 Edition....
probably not quite what Dave would want, being an OpenBSD user and
all.

I've been able to run SimNow within qemu-x86_64 on a 32 bit host.  Yes, 
I'm sadistic :-)
