# Qualcomm Hypervisor Qualcomm Hypervisor provides a modern virtualization framework that allows multiple operating systems to run independently and concurrently, delivering high performance. Qualcomm Type 1 Hypervisor facilitates the hosting of multiple trusted execution environments for secure use cases. The figure shows the Qualcomm Hypervisor software architecture, components, and virtual machines. It also includes an example of one guest virtual machine using the Linux kernel.  **Figure : Hypervisor architecture** Qualcomm Type 1 Hypervisor, also known as a native Hypervisor, does the following: - Provides enhanced security compared to Type 2 (hosted) Hypervisors - Supports multi-core, real-time operations that are independent of Linux - Operates distinctly, independently, and with higher privileges than Linux - Has a minimal impact on the performance The architecture of the Type 1 Hypervisor includes Qualcomm Hypervisor access control, which supports: - Multiple operating systems - Smaller attack surface The following figure shows the Type 1 hypervisor:  ## Virtualization Virtual machines and CPUs provide flexibility and abstraction. The Qualcomm Hypervisor offers the following virtualization features: > > > | **Feature** | **Description** | > | --- | --- | > | Memory management |
Qualcomm Hypervisor manages stage-2 page tables and translates the intermediate physical address (IPA) to the physical address (PA)
It also isolates memory between virtual machines
