The software that creates a virtual machine (VM) environment in a computer (for the fundamental concept, see virtual machine). In a regular, non-virtual computer, the operating system is the master ...

In this paper, the authors present their experiences of building Linux/RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) hybrid operating environments on Xen and Gandalf Virtual Machine Monitors (VMMs). Xen is a ...

The bulk of the time in this class examining a virtual machine monitor (VMM) in depth, at the source code level. The course explains the hardware/software interface of a modern x86 computer in detail.

This sounds so far out - rootkits are bad enough, but now we have to worry about virtual machine rootkits. Lab rats at Microsoft Research and the University of Michigan have teamed up to create ...

Virtualization is a technology that allows the physical machine resources to be shared among different Virtual Machines (VMs). It is provided by a software layer called hypervisor or Virtual Machine ...

A client-side hypervisor is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that resides in and virtualizes a user's computer (see client virtualization). Type 1 hypervisors are the computer's master control program.

This article is intended mainly for developers who are new to Xen and who want to know more about it. The first two sections, however, are general and do not deal with code. The Xen VMM (virtual ...

Editor's Note: Demand for increasing functionality and performance in systems designs continues to drive the need for more memory even as hardware engineers balance the dynamics of system capability, ...
