The linux technical review presented an overview of the different type of virtualizations architectures. I recopied the table as a reminder.
From the Linux Magazine 01/2010 Linux Technical Review:
| Gleiche ISA | Verschiedene ISA | |
| System VMs | Classic Hypervisors | System Emulators |
| z.B.: Xen, VMware ESX | z.B.: Bochs, Qemu | |
| Hosted VMs | Co-Designed VMs | |
| z.B.: VMware Workstation | z.B. AS/40 | |
| Prozess VMs | Multiprogramming | Dynamic Translation |
| z.B.: Linux, Windows | z.B. FX!32, Transmeta | |
| Binary Recoding | HLL VMs | |
| z.B.: Valgrind | z.B. Java VM |
