摘要： A method and system are provided for integrating partitions in a virtual machine environment. Specifically, a partition bus is provided, where the partition bus operatively connects partitions in such a way that it functions as a data transport mechanism allowing for data transfer and device sharing between partitions. The partition bus relies on virtualizing software in order to establish itself and to establish channels of communication between partitions and to inject interrupts to partitions where it is appropriate to do so. Furthermore, the partition bus employs such mechanisms ring buffers, transfer pages, and memory map changes to transfer information (requests and data). Furthermore, it uses policy agents to decide when information should be transferred or when devices should be shared among partitions. Lastly, it employs various mechanisms to ensure smooth integration between partitions, which includes remote services that have proxy devices and device versioning functionalities.

摘要： A method for automatically pairing an input device to a user is provided herein. According to one embodiment, the method includes receiving an input from an unpaired input device within an observed scene, and calculating a position of the unpaired input device upon receiving the input. The method further includes detecting one or more users within the observed scene via a capture device, creating a candidate list of the one or more detected users determined to be within a vicinity of the unpaired input device, and assigning one detected user on the candidate list to the unpaired input device to initiate pairing.

摘要： A method of agreeing on the utilization of at least one computer resource between two virtual machines includes sending a first resource request by a first virtual machine to a second virtual machine having computer resources to allocate to the first virtual machine. The second virtual machine responds by sending at least one available resource for use by the first virtual machine. The first virtual machine can select from the at least one available resource. Both the first and second virtual machines can then execute on the agreed resource utilization by the first virtual machine and begin using the resource. When conditions change, either the first virtual machine or the second virtual machine can request a renegotiation of the agreement to use computer resources.

摘要： Embodiments are disclosed herein related to scheduling of virtualized runtime threads to hardware threads that share hardware resources to improve processing performance. For example, one embodiment provides a computing system that includes a scheduler to schedule execution of virtualized source code. The virtualized source code may include virtualized runtime threads that may be scheduled by the scheduler onto hardware threads that share hardware resources. The scheduler may include a decoder to catalogue hardware resource parameters used by the virtualized source code. Furthermore, the scheduler may include a virtualization engine to schedule execution of the virtualized runtime threads onto the hardware threads based the hardware resource parameters and a hardware-specific profile of the computing system.

摘要： A method of managing resources in a host computer includes generating a virtual service provider in two different computer partitions and linking them in a serial manner. The virtual service providers are associated with a computer resource. Virtual service clients in different partitions may use the virtual service provider software to access the related computer resources. The virtual service providers provide a transparent interface to the associated hardware. Virtual service clients can use the combination of series computer resource functions or can access the a lesser number of the series connected virtual service providers. Fault tolerance can be built into the scheme using multiple virtual service providers located in different partitions accessible to virtual service clients using a failover control technique.
