The NEMU folks did a talk at KVM Forum last year -- the impression I got was that their intent was to use NEMU as a testbed and demo platform of what you could do to produce a slimmed-down version of QEMU, and then as they established workable approaches to then propose/submit them upstream to QEMU piecemeal.
On the upstream end, one of the features that landed in 4.0 was a 'Kconfig' system that hopefully will make it easier to build slimline versions of QEMU which don't compile in the kitchen sink.
- swiley 8y agoIf you want slimed down qemu on x86 only we already have temu.
- geofft 8y agoCan you provide a link to it? Google found http://bitblaze.cs.berkeley.edu/temu.html http://bitblaze.cs.berkeley.edu/temu.html which seems like the wrong thing (it's stuff added to qemu, and it's from 2008). Maybe https://bellard.org/tinyemu/ https://bellard.org/tinyemu/ ? Seems like the right thing but it's not based on qemu I think. Anyone tried it with production workloads? It does seem like it should work - it does KVM and has virtio devices. Although at first glance I don't see either multiple CPU support or live migration support - not having multiple CPU support would basically rule it out for real workloads.
