Boost Performance with Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager
Intel HAXM is a hardware-assisted virtualization engine that increases the performance of Android emulators on Intel hardware.
Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) is a software solution developed by Intel Corporation, that provides hardware emulation capabilities for Android virtual machines. HAXM can significantly boost the performance of Android emulators by leveraging the hardware virtualization technology offered by modern Intel processors.
By using HAXM, developers can create and test Android applications on virtual devices with near-native performance, which can save significant time compared to testing on physical devices. HAXM also allows developers to run multiple virtual machines simultaneously, which can be useful for testing different device configurations or running automated tests.
- HAXM supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows and macOS
- HAXM requires a compatible Intel processor with Virtualization Technology (VT) support
- HAXM can be installed as part of the Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications or downloaded separately from the Intel website
Developers looking to accelerate their Android emulator performance should consider using Intel HAXM to take advantage of its hardware virtualization capabilities.
