Platform virtualization software, specifically emulators and hypervisors, are software packages that emulate the whole physical computer machine, often providing multiple virtual machines on one physical platform. The table below compares basic information about platform virtualization hypervisors.
GPU virtualization is used in various applications such as desktop virtualization, [1] cloud gaming [2] and computational science (e.g. hydrodynamics simulations). [3] GPU virtualization implementations generally involve one or more of the following techniques: device emulation, API remoting, fixed pass-through and mediated pass-through.
February 18: Microsoft acquires virtualization technologies (Virtual PC and unreleased product called "Virtual Server") from Connectix Corporation. February 18: Development begins on QEMU, a free and open-source hardware emulator. [5] Late 2003: EMC acquires VMware for $635 million. Late 2003: VERITAS acquires Ejascent for $59 million.
Virtual Game Station: PlayStation emulation software. Sold to Sony, who bought it only after their lawsuit to stop it failed, and then dropped the product immediately. Virtual PC and Virtual server: Emulation software of x86-based personal computers for the Macintosh, Windows and OS/2.
The Virtual Game Station (VGS, code named Bonestorm [2]) was an emulator by Connectix that allows Sony PlayStation games to be played on a desktop computer. It was first released for the Macintosh, in 1999, after being previewed at Macworld/iWorld the same year by Steve Jobs and Phil Schiller. [3] VGS was created by Aaron Giles.
Cameyo is an application virtualization product. [2] [3] It aims to virtualize Windows applications so that they can run on other machines or in HTML5 browsers. [4]It is reported to be easy to use, light in weight, and compatible with a wide variety of applications. [5]
Application virtual machines are typically used to allow application bytecode to run portably on many different computer architectures and operating systems. The application is usually run on the computer using an interpreter or just-in-time compilation (JIT). There are often several implementations of a given virtual machine, each covering a ...
The creation and management of virtual machines has also been called "platform virtualization", or "server virtualization", more recently. [2] [3] Platform virtualization is performed on a given hardware platform by host software (a control program), which creates a simulated computer environment, a virtual machine (VM), for its guest software ...
