Dieses Fachbuch beschreibt die software program QEMU. Das kostenlose, quelloffene QEMU emuliert die komplette eines pcs mit CPU. Damit ist es möglich, software program verschiedener Prozessorarchitekturen auszuführen. QEMU ist nicht, wie zum Beispiel VMware, auf die x86-Architektur beschränkt. Zum QEMU-Paket gehört auch das leistungsfähige software qemu-img zum Anlegen, Konvertieren und Verschlüsseln von Image-Dateien (virtuellen Festplatten) in unterschiedlichen Formaten, auch anderer Virtualisierungssoftware.

Sample text

For example, if your vectors were 3-dimensional, they’d form the corners of a cube in space, as shown in Figure 12. All the crossovers so far are very constrained: they will result in new vectors which lie at some other corner of the hypercube. By extension, imagine an entire population P as points in space (such as the three-dimensional space in Figure 12). Crossover done on P can only produce children inside the bounding box surrounding P in space. Thus P s bounding box can never increase: you’re doomed to only search inside it.

So where’s the selection? It comes after generating a child, when it competes for survival with a specific individual already in the population. If the child is fitter, it replaces that individual, else the child is thrown away. 39 Below we show one simple implementation of Differential Evolution, as described above. Note that in this code we will treat the population as a vector, not a collection: this is to make the pseudocode a bit more clear. Also, note that since Differential Evolution always uses vector representations for individuals, we’ll treat individuals both as individuals (such as Qi and as vectors (such as a) interchangeably.
