# crosvm - The Chrome OS Virtual Machine Monitor
crosvm is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) based on Linuxs KVM hypervisor, with
a focus on simplicity, security, and speed. crosvm is intended to run Linux
guests, originally as a security boundary for running native applications on the
Chrome OS platform. Compared to QEMU, crosvm doesnt emulate architectures or
real hardware, instead concentrating on paravirtualized devices, such as the
virtio standard.
crosvm is currently used to run Linux/Android guests on Chrome OS devices.
