The software that creates a virtual machine (VM) environment in a computer (for the fundamental concept, see virtual machine). In a regular, non-virtual computer, the operating system is the master ...

The bulk of the time in this class examining a virtual machine monitor (VMM) in depth, at the source code level. The course explains the hardware/software interface of a modern x86 computer in detail.

In this paper, the authors present their experiences of building Linux/RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) hybrid operating environments on Xen and Gandalf Virtual Machine Monitors (VMMs). Xen is a ...

Xen Project is a free and open source virtual machine monitor (VMM), intended to serve as a type-1 hyperviser for multiple operating systems using the same hardware. Originally developed by Cambridge ...

Editor's Note: Demand for increasing functionality and performance in systems designs continues to drive the need for more memory even as hardware engineers balance the dynamics of system capability, ...

This sounds so far out - rootkits are bad enough, but now we have to worry about virtual machine rootkits. Lab rats at Microsoft Research and the University of Michigan have teamed up to create ...

When a physical server is virtualized, it results in multiple logical servers. Each logical server comprises a virtual machine (VM) that works over a virtualization intermediary software layer, also ...

A client-side hypervisor is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that resides in and virtualizes a user's computer (see client virtualization). Type 1 hypervisors are the computer's master control program.
