Making use of these facilities, VirtualBox can run each guest VM in its own separate address-space; the guest OS ring 0 code runs on the host at ring 0 in VMX non-root mode rather than in ring 1. [citation needed] Starting with version 6.1, VirtualBox only supports this method.

WPARs are software partitions that are created from, and share the resources of, a single instance of the AIX OS. WPARs can be created on any IBM Power Systems or IBM System p hardware that supports AIX version 6.1 and higher . [1] There are three kinds of WPARs: System WPARs; Application WPARs; and Versioned WPARs.
The pioneer system using this concept was IBM's CP-40, the first (1967) version of IBM's CP/CMS (1967–1972) and the precursor to IBM's VM family (1972–present). With the VM architecture, most users run a relatively simple interactive computing single-user operating system, CMS , as a "guest" on top of the VM control program ( VM-CP ).
Under agreement with Connectix, Innotek GmbH (makers of VirtualBox, now part of Oracle) ported version 5.0 to run on an OS/2 host. [6] This version also included guest extensions (VM additions) for OS/2 guests, which could run on Windows, OS/2 or Mac OS X hosts using Virtual PC versions 5, 6 or 7.
Third-party software that ISVs have certified to run on Oracle Linux and Oracle VM can be found in this catalog Oracle/Sun servers with x86-64 processors can be configured to ship with Oracle Linux. Oracle Linux is available on Amazon EC2 as an Amazon Machine Image , and on Microsoft Windows Azure as a VM Image.
GPU virtualization refers to technologies that allow the use of a GPU to accelerate graphics or GPGPU applications running on a virtual machine.GPU virtualization is used in various applications such as desktop virtualization, [1] cloud gaming [2] and computational science (e.g. hydrodynamics simulations).
As with KQEMU, VirtualBox runs nearly all guest code natively on the host via the VMM (Virtual Machine Manager) and uses the re-compiler only as a fallback mechanism – for example, when guest code executes in real mode. [21] In addition, VirtualBox did a lot of code analysis and patching using a built-in disassembler to minimize recompilation.
