Guoqiang Shu,Keith Farkas,Eddie Ma,Michael Nelson,Elisha Ziskind,Sridhar Rajagopal,Minwen Ji +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method for restarting a virtual machine in a virtual computing system having a plurality of hosts and a resource scheduler for the plurality of host hosts.
Patent
Handling interrupts when virtual machines have direct access to a hardware device
TL;DR: In this article, a virtualized computer system in which a guest operating system runs on a virtual machine of a virtualised computer system and has direct access to a hardware device coupled to the VM via a communication interface is described.
Patent
Logging and Replaying Input/Output Events for a Virtual Machine
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a computer-implemented method for logging input/output (I/O) events for a virtual machine, the method including: executing the virtual machine from a checkpoint; and logging external events, including I/O events.
Patent
System software displacement in a virtual computer system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a virtual machine schedulability model for high-speed I/O between VM's and VMs, where the VM, the COS, and even each processor in a multiprocessor embodiment, are treated as separately schedulable entities.
Patent
Transitioning of virtual machine from replay mode to live mode
TL;DR: In this paper, a backup VM is allowed to enter live execution mode at instruction boundaries but not in the middle of emulation of a single instruction, by having the last log entry of multiple entries generated during emulation of an instruction to have an indication of a “go-live” point.
