@Tim that process should be called libvirtd and VMM is a client of it. libvirtd hide the complexity of different virtualization technology behind it, allow you to manage those containers or virtual machines by communicate with it(which is virsh or VMM does). But they're really not related to this question, since the question is about different virtual machine technology implementation. Not the management warper system.

If you use KVM, you’ve got hardware acceleration (so with QEMU, qemu-kvm or the KVM “enable” option). I don’t know the equivalent in VirtualBox off-hand.

| Mar 25, 2019 at 18:01 | comment | added | Tim | Is it correct that libvirt is a server process, and VMM a client process? Is QEMU also a server to VMM? What is the relation and difference between QEMU and libvirt processes? Do all the four components communicate by KVM <->QEMU <-> libvirt <-> VMM? | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 17:58 | comment | added | Tim | Is QEMU really a user space process instead of a kernel module? unix.stackexchange.com/a/506417/674 says "Qemu is the lowest level that emulates processor and peripherals" and "KVM is to accelerate it if CPU has VT enabled", so I thought both QEMU and KVM are kernel modules. | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 17:54 | comment | added | Tim | Thanks. How do I know if I run a KVM (or Virtualbox) VM with hardware acceraltion or not? | |

Clarify further.

Clarify the last sentence, thanks mosvy.
