Abstract: My Other Machine is Virtual

[Alex Bennée]

Following on from last weeks discussion here is an alternative abstract
which instead of looking to the future with where QEMU can go would
concentrate on what you can do with QEMU now. What do you think?

When working with new architectures there is often a scramble for
getting access to hardware. However hardware comes with it's own
problems - especially when it's new. It's hard to upgrade, hard to poke
around inside and hard to experiment with.

This is an area where QEMU can help. Thanks to it cross-architecture
emulation and ability to run full-system emulation it provides a
platform for experimentation without the potential consequences of
turning your new board into a inanimate brick.

This talk will start with an overview of QEMU and how various
configurations can be setup. We'll then examine various features
available that allow us to examine the run time behaviour of code inside
QEMU as well as discuss some of its limitations. Finally we'll look at
some experiments that would be hard to do with real hardware and what
they can tell us about the code we are running.

+1.

I would attend this presentation. QEMU has lots of power-user features that most people don't know about.

Hello Alex,

Sorry for the late comments. I think that looks good to me as a
proposal for Connect. I spotted a couple of typos that I've
highlighted inline. Would it be worth mentioning if you are going to
cover bare-metal system emulation or concentrate on Linux?

Typo: it -> its "Thanks to its cross-architecture"

Typo: a -> an "into an inanimate brick". You might also be able to
drop inanimate unless you know of a species of animated brick.
