Cua's High Performance Virtualization Implementation Principles
Cua is an open source virtualization solution optimized for the Apple Silicon architecture , built on Apple's official Virtualization.Framework technology . Its performance advantages are mainly reflected in:
- Hardware-level optimization: Leverage the unified memory architecture and performance core of the M-series chipset to achieve near 90% native performance.
- Framework Advantage: Virtualization.Framework directly calls the chip virtualization instruction set, a significant increase in efficiency over traditional emulators.
- Specialized testing: VM performance up to 90% for physical machines as verified by tools such as Geekbench.
It is worth noting that Cua only adapts to M1/M2/M3/M4 chip devices, which is fundamentally different from the Intel architecture.
