Virtualization
A technology that uses software to simulate multiple independent computing environments on physical hardware, decoupling the operating system from the underlying hardware. It is commonly applied in server consolidation, software compatibility testing, and legacy system migration.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The performance overhead introduced by a virtualization layer is typically 5%–15%, and is significantly amplified in compute-intensive tasks.
Virtualization technology achieves near-native performance by allowing guest code to execute directly on the physical CPU, whereas an emulator reproduces the target device at the register level without relying on equivalent functionality of the host hardware.
