    Abstract: Techniques for transferring virtual machines and resource management in a virtualized computing environment are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory, at least one processor, and logic for transferring a virtual machine (VM), at least a portion of the logic comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one memory and the at least one processor, the logic to generate a plurality of virtualized capability registers for a virtual device (VDEV) by virtualizing a plurality of device-specific capability registers of a physical device to be virtualized by the VM, the plurality of virtualized capability registers comprising a plurality of device-specific capabilities of the physical device, determine a version of the physical device to support via a virtual machine monitor (VMM), and expose a subset of the virtualized capability registers associated with the version to the VM. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor comprises: a first configuration register to store a pointer to a process address space identifier (PASID) table; and an execution circuit coupled to the first configuration register. The execution circuit, in response to a first instruction, is to obtain command data from a first location identified in a source operand of the first instruction, obtain a PASID table handle from the command data, access a first entry of the PASID table using the pointer from the first configuration register and the PASID table handle to obtain a PASID value, insert the PASID value into the command data, and send the command data to a device coupled to the processor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an input/output virtualization (IOV) device comprising: at least one function circuit to be shared by a plurality of virtual machines (VMs); and a plurality of assignable device interfaces (ADIs) coupled to the at least one function circuit, wherein each of the plurality of ADIs is to be associated with one of the plurality of VMs and comprises a first process address space identifier (PASID) field to store a first PASID to identify a descriptor queue stored in a host address space and a second PASID field to store a second PASID to identify a data buffer located in a VM address space. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
