1# crosvm - The Chrome OS Virtual Machine Monitor 2 3crosvm is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) based on Linux’s KVM hypervisor, with a focus on 4simplicity, security, and speed. crosvm is intended to run Linux guests, originally as a security 5boundary for running native applications on the Chrome OS platform. Compared to QEMU, crosvm doesn’t 6emulate architectures or real hardware, instead concentrating on paravirtualized devices, such as 7the virtio standard. 8 9crosvm is currently used to run Linux/Android guests on Chrome OS devices. 10 11- [Documentation](https://google.github.io/crosvm/) 12- [Source code](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/crosvm/) 13 - [API doc](https://google.github.io/crosvm/doc/crosvm/), useful for searching API. 14 - For contribution, see 15 [the contributor guide](https://google.github.io/crosvm/contributing.html).
