1ACRN Hypervisor 2############### 3 4The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and 5an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on 6a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a 7reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the 8"ACRN Device Model". 9 10The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on 11the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded 12device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists 13between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN 14hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional 15domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and 16embedded devices. 17 18You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_ 19website. 20 21.. _`Project ACRN`: https://projectacrn.org 22.. _`ACRN Hypervisor`: https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor 23.. _`Project ACRN documentation`: https://projectacrn.github.io/ 24
