Abstract: A method of enabling “fast” suspend and “rapid” resume of virtual machines (VMs) employs a cache that is able to perform input/output operations at a faster rate than a storage device provisioned for the VMs. The cache may be local to a computer system that is hosting the VMs or may be shared cache commonly accessible to VMs hosted by different computer systems. The method includes the steps of saving the state of the VM to a checkpoint file stored in the cache and locking the checkpoint file so that data blocks of the checkpoint file are maintained in the cache and are not evicted, and resuming execution of the VM by reading into memory the data blocks of the checkpoint file stored in the cache.

Abstract translation: 启用虚拟机（VM）的“快速”挂起和“快速”恢复的方法使用能够以比为虚拟机提供的存储设备更快的速率执行输入/输出操作的高速缓存。 缓存可以是托管VM的计算机系统的本地，或者可以是由不同的计算机系统托管的VM通用的共享缓存。 该方法包括以下步骤：将VM的状态保存到存储在高速缓存中的检查点文件，并锁定检查点文件，使得检查点文件的数据块保持在高速缓存中并且不被驱逐，并且通过以下方式恢复VM的执行： 将存储在缓存中的检查点文件的数据块读入存储器。

Abstract: Embodiments support instant forking of virtual machines (VMs) and state customization. A computing device initiates execution of a first group of services (e.g., identity-independent) in a first VM. A second VM is instantiated from the first VM. The second VM shares memory and storage with the first VM. The computing device customizes the second VM based on configuration data associated with the second VM. A second group of services (e.g., identity-dependent) starts executing on the second VM after configuring the identity of the second VM. Customizing the second VM includes configuring one or more identities of the second VM. In some embodiments, a domain identity is selected from a pool of previously-created identities and applied to the second VM, before bootup completes on the second VM.

Abstract: Embodiments perform automatic document handling by retrieving icons from local document handlers or from an application volumes manager, without installing the application locally. Embodiments further perform on-demand application mounting by intercepting and suspending requests to launch applications until the appropriate virtual disk, corresponding to the application, is mounted to the disk subsystem by the application volumes manager. The application launch is then resumed.

Abstract: The current document is directed a resource-exchange system that facilitates resource exchange and sharing among computing facilities. The currently disclosed methods and systems employ efficient, distributed-search-based auction methods and subsystems within distributed computer systems that include large numbers of geographically distributed data centers to locate resource-provider computing facilities that match the resource needs of resource-consumer computing facilities. Multiple security methods and subsystems are employed to prevent unauthorized access to resource-exchange-system services, to secure resource-exchange-system-participant data from unauthorized access, and to prevent hosted virtual machines and other hosted computational entities from interfering with operation of native virtual machines and other native computational entities within hosting resource-provider computing facilities.

Abstract: An adaptive virtual desktop architecture is provided. Application install or assignment is evaluated, such as by using heuristics to identify applications that may present compatibility problems. Upon determining that a newly installed application may have compatibility problems when associated with a non-persistent virtual desktop, a promotion to a persistent virtual desktop occurs.

Abstract: The current document is directed to reverse federated identity-management systems and to reverse-federated-identity-management methods employed by the reverse federated identity-management systems. The currently disclosed reverse-federated-identity-management systems automatically provision local proxy identities in distributed computers systems from which distributed resource-distribution systems allocate resources on behalf of users and clients of the distributed resource-distribution systems. In addition, the currently disclosed reverse-federated-identity-management systems automatically record associations of local proxy identities with users and clients of the distributed resource-distribution systems so that the users can be subsequently identified to auditing and monitoring organizations should the need for detailed auditing and monitoring subsequently arise.

Abstract: Documents or other files opened on a remote desktop are mirrored onto a mobile client device that allows a user to seamlessly work on such documents or files in either a stationary or mobile fashion. The mirrored files may be presented to the user on the mobile client device with the capacity for the user to sign his or her name—or otherwise mark—the mirrored document on the client device. Once signed, various techniques are executed that cause the signed version of the mirrored files to be communicated back to the remote desktop where the signed files are saved. Such techniques may operate transparent to a user, eliminating the need for the user to constantly have to save and transport signed files between multiple devices when working on the go.

Abstract: Embodiments provision and customize virtual machines (VMs), such as desktop VMs, without rebooting the desktop VMs. In response to a request to provision the VMs, a computing device creates a clone VM from a parent VM template identified in the request. One or more customization that prompt rebooting of the clone VM are applied to the clone VM. The computing device instantiates a plurality of child VMs from the customized clone VM. A child VM configuration is applied to at least one of the instantiated child VMs without provoking a reboot of those child VMs.

Abstract: The current document is directed a resource-exchange system that facilitates resource exchange and sharing among computing facilities. The currently disclosed methods and systems employ efficient, distributed-search methods and subsystems within distributed computer systems that include large numbers of geographically distributed data centers to locate resource-provider computing facilities that match the resource needs of resource-consumer computing-facilities based on attribute values associated with the needed resources, the resource providers, and the resource consumers. The resource-exchange system monitors and controls resource exchanges on behalf of participants in the resource-exchange system in order to optimize resource usage within participant data centers and computing facilities. By optimizing resource usage, the resource-exchange system drives participant data centers and computing facilities towards maximum operational efficiency

Abstract: Examples described herein enable memory state sharing among a plurality of virtual machines (VM) including a parent VM and a child VM. A request for memory state sharing between the parent VM and the child VM is received, and the parent VM is suspended. The child VM resumes execution of one or more suspended applications. In one example, the child FM is forked with pre-loaded, suspended applications from the parent VM. Aspects of the disclosure offer a high performance, resource efficient solution that outperforms traditional approaches in areas of software compatibility, stability, quality of service control, re-source utilization, and more.
