Popek and Goldberg describe the characteristics that the instruction set architecture (ISA) of the physical machine must possess in order to run VMMs which possess the above properties. Their analysis derives such characteristics using a model of "third generation architectures" (e.g., IBM 360, Honeywell 6000, DEC PDP-10) that is nevertheless ...
A hypervisor, also known as a virtual machine monitor (VMM) or virtualizer, is a type of computer software, firmware or hardware that creates and runs virtual machines.A computer on which a hypervisor runs one or more virtual machines is called a host machine, and each virtual machine is called a guest machine.
In computing, a virtual machine (VM) is the virtualization or emulation of a computer system.Virtual machines are based on computer architectures and provide the functionality of a physical computer.
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a free and open-source virtualization module in the Linux kernel that allows the kernel to function as a hypervisor.It was merged into the mainline Linux kernel in version 2.6.20, which was released on February 5, 2007. [1]
Virtual memory, manager; The Windows 9x Virtual Machine Manager (see VMM32); Virtual Machine Manager or Virtual Machine Monitor (see Hypervisor); VAX VMM, an unreleased hypervisor for Digital's VAX hardware.
System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) forms part of Microsoft's System Center line of virtual machine management and reporting tools, alongside previously established tools such as System Center Operations Manager and System Center Configuration Manager.
x86 virtualization is the use of hardware-assisted virtualization capabilities on an x86/x86-64 CPU.. In the late 1990s x86 virtualization was achieved by complex software techniques, necessary to compensate for the processor's lack of hardware-assisted virtualization capabilities while attaining reasonable performance.
Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), also known as nested paging, is a hardware-assisted virtualization technology which makes it possible to avoid the overhead associated with software-managed shadow page tables.
