Description
blink is a virtual machine that runs statically-compiled x86-64-linux programs on different operating systems and hardware architectures. It's designed to do the same thing as the qemu-x86_64 command, except (a) rather than being a 4mb binary, Blink only has a ~156kb footprint; and (b) Blink goes 2x faster than Qemu on some benchmarks such as emulating GCC. The tradeoff is Blink doesn't have as many features as Qemu. Blink is a great fit when you want a virtual machine that's extremely small and runs ephemeral programs much faster.
