Abstract: In the present disclosure, functions associated with the central office of an evolved packet core network are co-located onto a computer platform or sub-components through virtualized function instances. This reduces and/or eliminates the physical interfaces between equipment and permits functional operation of the evolved packet core to occur at a network edge.

Abstract: Embodiments of an invention for monitoring the operation of a processor are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes a processor and a hardware agent external to the processor. The processor includes virtualization logic to provide for the processor to operate in a root mode and in a non-root mode. The hardware agent is to verify operation of the processor in the non-root mode based on tracing information to be collected by a software agent to be executed by the processor in the root mode.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a method includes switching between a first address space and a second address space, determining if the second address space exists in a list of address spaces; and maintaining entries of the first address space in a translation buffer after the switching. In such manner, overhead associated with such a context switch may be reduced.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for processing virtualization events in a layered virtualization architecture are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a hardware processor including event circuit to recognize a virtualization event, and evaluation circuit to determine whether to transfer control of the apparatus from a child guest to a parent guest in response to the virtualization event, wherein the child guest and the parent guest each include a bit per virtualization event to indicate whether the parent guest is to gain control when the virtualization event occurs.

Abstract: A processor including logic to execute an instruction to synchronize a mapping from a physical address of a guest of a virtualization based system (guest physical address) to a physical address of the host of the virtualization based system (host physical address), and stored in a translation lookaside buffer (TLB), with a corresponding mapping stored in an extended paging table (EPT) of the virtualization based system.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for delivering an interrupt to a virtual processor are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an interface to receive an interrupt request, delivery logic, and exit logic. The delivery logic is to determine, based on an attribute of the interrupt request, whether the interrupt request is to be delivered to the virtual processor. The exit logic is to transfer control to a host if the delivery logic determines that the interrupt request is not to be delivered to the virtual processor.
