6The ACRN hypervisor acts as a host with full control of the processors
7and the hardware (physical memory, interrupt management, and I/O). It
8provides the guest VM with an abstraction of a virtual platform, allowing
9the guest VM to behave as if it were executing directly on a physical
10processor.

12These chapters describe the ACRN architecture, high-level design,
13background, and motivation for specific areas within the ACRN hypervisor
14system.
