If you check through Qemu list archieve, you shall see that there were more or less similar question: parallelization of Qemu. Most of the answers are: it can be hardly done. AFAIK, this is due to how dynamic translation is done... you need (most of the part I guess) almost 100% serialization. This doesn't mean it is entirely impossible, I just said it's quite hard. Even though the job is mostly code copy (e.g x86 to x86), you still need to be careful when you hit i.e interrupt disabled code region. That's all I can remember though... -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
