         <Description>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. In user-mode emulation mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU.</Description>
