摘要:
Examples may include a remapping of sessions for a multi-threaded application that may be executed at a server or a client coupled to the server via a plurality of transmit control protocol (TCP) connections. Sessions may be remapped such that the multi-threaded application may expect to route sessions through a same TCP connection but the sessions are actually outputted via separate TCP connections.

Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer-readable media are described herein for a virtual machine monitor. The virtual machine monitor may be configured to determine whether to schedule a virtual central processing unit of one of a plurality of virtual machines on a first physical processing unit of a plurality of physical processing units. Each virtual machine may have one or more virtual central processing units. The determination may be based at least in part on whether a context of the virtual central processing unit suggests a desired cache hit rate on one or more cache units of the apparatus by the first physical processing unit when operating the virtual central processing unit.

In one embodiment of the invention, the exit and/or entry process in a nested virtualized environment is made more efficient. For example, a layer 0 (L0) virtual machine manager (VMM) may emulate a layer 2 (L2) guest interrupt directly, rather than indirectly through a layer 1 (L1) VMM. This direct emulation may occur by, for example, sharing a virtual state (e.g., virtual CPU state, virtual Device state, and/or virtual physical Memory state) between the L1 VMM and the L0 VMM. As another example, L1 VMM information (e.g., L2 physical to machine address translation table) may be shared between the L1 VMM and the L0 VMM.

An apparatus and method are described for performing virtualization using virtual machine (VM) sets. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: graphics processing unit (GPU) to process graphics commands and responsively render a plurality of image frames; a hypervisor to virtualize the GPU to share the GPU among a plurality of virtual machines (VMs); and VM set management logic to establish a plurality of VM sets, each set comprising a plurality of VMs, the VM set management logic to partition graphics memory address (GMADR) space across each of the VM sets but to share the GMADR space between VMs within each VM set.
摘要:
Embodiments of the invention enable dynamic level boosting of operations across virtualization layers to enable efficient nested virtualization. Embodiments of the invention execute a first virtual machine monitor (VMM) to virtualize system hardware. A nested virtualization environment is created by executing a plurality of upper level VMMs via virtual machines (VMs). These upper level VMMs are used to execute an upper level virtualization layer including an operating system (OS).During operation of the above described nested virtualization environment, a privileged instruction issued from an OS is trapped and emulated via the respective upper level VMM (i.e., the VMM that creates the VM for that OS). Embodiments of the invention enable the emulation of the privileged instruction via a lower level VMM. In some embodiments, the emulated instruction is executed via the first VMM with little to no involvement of any intermediate virtualization layers residing between the first and upper level VMMs.

摘要:
In several embodiments, a graphics processor couples to a virtual machine monitor (VMM) to present a virtual graphics processor to one or more virtual machines. A mediator for the virtual graphics processor synchronously shadows modifications to a guest graphics translation table (GTT) of a virtual machine to a shadow GTT of the VMM using trap and emulate virtualization. If the mediator detects a frequency of modifications to the guest GTT that exceeds a threshold the mediator may then asynchronously shadow at least a portion of the guest GTT to the shadow GTT and rebuild the shadow GTT prior to submitting commands for the virtual graphics processor to the graphics processor.
摘要:
An embodiment may include circuitry to be comprised at least in part in a first host, and being enabled, when the circuitry is in a first mode of operation, to modify, at least in part, first information maintained, at least in part, by the circuitry and associated, at least in part, with at least one operational state. The circuitry may be disabled from initiating modification to the first information when the circuitry is in a second mode. The circuitry may enter the second mode in response to at least one command. When in the second mode, the circuitry may (1) copy, at least in part, the first information to at least one memory region, (2) replace, at least in part, the first information with second information, and (3) enter at least another operational state associated, at least in part, with the second information.
