The Android "emulator" is using an x86 build of Android. Running the entire stack will increase memory use but should have no real impact on performance. Given that many people are running the emulator on non-Linux kernels (and this story is explicitly about doing so on Windows), how would a simulator work?
(I work at Google, but not on Android)
- basementcat 8y agoPerhaps it is time for an Android Subsystem for Windows that is analogous to the Linux Subsystem for Windows 10.
- Mic92 8y agoThe Linux subsystem is still slower then a Linux running in Hyper-V because of the Syscall overhead.
- opencl 8y agoMicrosoft already wrote most of one (project Astoria) and shipped it in some early W10M builds but scrapped it seemingly shortly before it was done.
- ahartmetz 8y agoIn another HN discussion somebody claimed that WSL was developed from the Android emulator. It makes so much sense that I don't want to doubt it ;)
