  2. x86 virtualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Level_Address...

    Rapid Virtualization Indexing (RVI), known as Nested Page Tables (NPT) during its development, is an AMD second generation hardware-assisted virtualization technology for the processor memory management unit (MMU). [1] [2] RVI was introduced in the third generation of Opteron processors, code name Barcelona. [3]

  4. AMD Turion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Turion

    AMD Turion 64 X2 engineering sample, 1.6 GHz. Turion 64 X2 is AMD's 64-bit dual-core mobile CPU, intended to compete with Intel's Core and Core 2 CPUs. The Turion 64 X2 was launched on May 17, 2006, [2] after several delays. These processors use Socket S1 and feature DDR2 memory. They also include AMD Virtualization Technology and more power ...

  5. List of x86 virtualization instructions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_x86_virtualization...

    Instruction set extensions that have been added to the x86 instruction set in order to support hardware virtualization.These extensions provide instructions for entering and leaving a virtualized execution context and for loading virtual-machine control structures (VMCSs), which hold the state of the guest and host, along with fields which control processor behavior within the virtual machine.

  6. Comparison of platform virtualization software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_platform...

    ^ OS-level virtualization is described as "native" speed, however some groups have found overhead as high as 3% for some operations, but generally figures come under 1%, so long as secondary effects do not appear. ^ See [20] for a paper comparing performance of paravirtualization approaches (e.g. Xen) with OS-level virtualization

  7. QEMU - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QEMU

    Xen, a virtual machine monitor, can run in HVM (hardware virtual machine) mode, using Intel VT-x or AMD-V hardware x86 virtualization extensions and ARM Cortex-A7 and Cortex-A15 virtualization extensions. [23] This means that instead of para-virtualized devices, a real set of virtual hardware is exposed to the DomU, enabling it to use real ...

  8. SVM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVM

    Secure Virtual Machine, a virtualization technology by AMD; Shared Virtual Memory, another AMD technology for computation on its GPUs with HSA/ROCm. Solaris Volume Manager, software; Space vector modulation, in power electronics, a modulating technique to give power to a load; Support vector machine, a machine learning algorithm

  9. Blue Pill (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Pill_(software)

    Blue Pill originally required AMD-V (Pacifica) virtualization support, but was later ported to support Intel VT-x (Vanderpool) as well. It was designed by Joanna Rutkowska and originally demonstrated at the Black Hat Briefings on August 3, 2006, with a reference implementation for the Microsoft Windows Vista kernel.
