Hardware Acceleration With QEMU

This blog post will explain how to use hardware acceleration with the Windows version of QEMU. Whenever the Linux version of QEMU is ran, it uses KVM for hardware acceleration. Since Windows is shipped with the Hyper-V accelerator, the -accel flag determines if QEMU can use it or not. The variable kernel-irqchip is set to off so Hyper-V will work with QEMU.

-accel whpx,kernel-irqchip=off

The Windows version of QEMU was used to write this blog post.

  1. Hi there, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and
    i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam responses?
    If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything
    you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving
    me crazy so any support is very much appreciated.

  2. When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time
    a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same
    comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Thank you!
