Self-Virtualized I/O: High Performance, Scalable I/O Virtualization in Multi-Core Systems

Tags:
scalability

Overview Virtualizing I/O subsystems and peripheral devices is an integral part of system virtualization. This paper advocates the notion of self-virtualized I/O (SV-IO). Specifically, it proposes a hypervisor-level abstraction that permits guest virtual machines to efficiently exploit the multi-core nature of future machines when interacting with virtualized I/O. The concrete instance of SV-IO developed and evaluated herein provides virtual interfaces to an underlying physical device, the network interface, and manages the way in which the device's physical resources are used by guest operating systems.

Microsoft puts brakes on Viridian

In that model, Windows is a "host" operating system that runs "guest" operating systems in virtual machines. Among them: compatibility with IVT and AMD-V virtualisation technology built into newer Intel and AMD processors, respectively; support for...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
