Topic Nested Virtualization Technology Performance Tuning
Description The performance of nested virtualization, a feature first introduced as a
preview in the v2.5 release, was improved. CPU and I/O performance of level 2
virtual machines (for example, a VM running on a KVM/QEMU VM that itself is a
VM on ACRN hypervisor) is now on par with a VM running on KVM on bare metal.
Read more in the :ref:`nested_virt` tutorial.
Support loading OSes in ELF format
ACRN hypervisor now can load OS images packed in ELF (Executable and Linkable
Format). This adds flexibility to OSs such as Zephyr running in pre-launched
VMs.
