Re: Accelerator in ARM-based macOS

KVM is a Linux specific acceleration. With macOS you want HVF (-accel hvf). Note, you can only leverage hardware acceleration if your guest architecture is the same as your host. So in your case you can only use HVF with ARM guests. Regards, Phil.

Thank you, Serdar Bahar if i understand you correct, your host is arm based and your guest is i86-64 based? as far as i know, accelerating is only working if host and guest has the same processor-family. maybe i am wrong, i am only an user. i do not know if ubuntu is available in a arm based version, if yes, then i would use this version and try to use the acceleration. -- www.becherer.de OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature
