# Status
HAXM was created to bring Intel Virtualization Technology to Windows and macOS
users. Today both Microsoft Hyper-V and macOS HVF have added support for Intel
Virtual Machine Extensions. We have therefore decided to retire the HAXM
project. HAXM v7.8.0 is our last release and we will not accept pull requests or
respond to issues after this.# Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM)
HAXM is a cross-platform hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor),
widely used as an accelerator for [Android Emulator][android-studio] and
[QEMU][qemu]. It has always supported running on Windows and macOS, and has been
ported to other host operating systems as well, such as Linux and NetBSD.HAXM runs as a kernel-mode driver on the host operating system, and provides a
KVM-like interface to user space, thereby enabling applications like QEMU to
utilize the hardware virtualization capabilities built into modern Intel CPUs,
namely [Intel Virtualization Technology][intel-vt].## Downloads
The latest HAXM release for Windows and macOS hosts are available
[here][github-haxm-releases].## Contributing
Detailed instructions for building and testing HAXM can be found at:
* [Manual for Linux](docs/manual-linux.md)
* [Manual for macOS](docs/manual-macos.md)
* [Manual for Windows](docs/manual-windows.md)If you would like to contribute a patch to the code base, please also read
[these guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).## Reporting an Issue
You are welcome to file a [GitHub issue][github-haxm-issues] if you discover a
general HAXM bug or have a feature request.However, please do not use the GitHub issue tracker to report security
vulnerabilities. If you have information about a security issue or vulnerability
with HAXM, please send an email to [[email protected]][intel-security-email], and
use the PGP key located at https://www.intel.com/security to encrypt any
sensitive information.## Code of Conduct
