Virtual disk storage techniques
John A. Starks,Dustin L. Green,Todd William Harris,Mathew John,Senthil Rajaram,Karan Mehra,Neal R. Christiansen,Chung Lang Dai +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe techniques for storing virtual disk payload data in an exemplary configuration, each virtual disk extent can be associated with state information that indicates whether the virtual disk file is described by a virtual disk.
Patent
Virtual machine migration techniques
TL;DR: In this paper, techniques for migrating a virtual machine from a source computer system to a target computer system are described. But the authors do not specify how the virtual machine can be migrated.
Patent
Virtual machine fast emulation assist
Lawrence R. Cleeton,Andrei Warkentin,Andrew Nicholas,Rene Antonio Vega,Jacob Oshins,John A. Starks +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, techniques for reducing virtual machine input/output emulation overhead and decreasing the attack surface of a virtual machine architecture are discussed. But the authors do not discuss how to improve the performance of the emulation.
Patent
Multi-stage large send offload
John A. Starks,Keith Loren Mange +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a network stack sends very large packets with large segment offload (LSO) by performing multi-pass LSO by inserting a first-stage LSO filter between the network stack and the physical NIC.
Patent
Sharing a virtual hard disk across multiple virtual machines
Andrea D'amato,Vinod R. Shankar,Jacob Oshins,Matthew David Kurjanowicz,Vladimir Petter,John A. Starks +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a command is sent from a virtual machine to a local parser, and the parser prepares the command for transport over a file system protocol, and then it is sent to a remote file server.
