20100138828 | Systems and Methods for Facilitating Virtualization of a Heterogeneous Processor Pool - A system for facilitating virtualization of a heterogeneous processor pool includes a processor allocation component and a hypervisor, each executing on a host computer. The processor allocation component identifies a plurality of physical processors available for computing and determines a set of flags, each of the set of flags identifying a type of functionality provided by each of a subset of the plurality of physical processors. The hypervisor, in communication with the processor allocation component, allocates, to at least one virtual machine, access to one of the subset of the plurality of physical processors. | 06-03-2010 |
20100138829 | Systems and Methods for Optimizing Configuration of a Virtual Machine Running At Least One Process - A system for optimizing configuration of a virtual machine running at least one process includes at least one virtual resource in a virtual machine executing on a computing device, an agent executing within the virtual machine, and a hypervisor. The at least one virtual resource has a configuration parameter. The agent identifies a name of at least one process currently executing on the virtual machine. The hypervisor alters, in response to receiving the identified name from the agent, a value of the configuration parameter. | 06-03-2010 |
20100161922 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING MIGRATION OF VIRTUAL MACHINES AMONG A PLURALITY OF PHYSICAL MACHINES - A method for facilitating migration of virtual machines among a plurality of physical machines includes associating a virtual machine with at least one physical resource inaccessible by a first subset of the plurality of physical machines and available to a second subset of the plurality of physical machines, the virtual machine executing on a first physical machine in the second subset of the plurality of physical machines. The method includes receiving a request to migrate the virtual machine to a second physical machine in the plurality of physical machines. The method includes identifying a second physical machine in the second subset of the plurality of physical machines. The method includes migrating the virtual machine to the second physical machine. | 06-24-2010 |
20110145820 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING INJECTION OF INPUT DATA INTO A VIRTUALIZATION ENVIRONMENT - The methods and systems described herein provide functionality for managing injection of input events to one virtual machine of a plurality of guest virtual machines, in a computing device executing a hypervisor hosting a trusted virtual machine and a non-trusted virtual machine. An input manager receives a first item of input data from an input device communicating with the computing device. The input manager identifies whether the first item of input data includes a predetermined string. The input manager forwards, responsive to the identification, the first item of input data to one of (i) a first virtual machine of a plurality of guest virtual machines executed by the processor of the computing device and (ii) an application executed by the control virtual machine, wherein at least one virtual machine of the plurality of guest virtual machines is a trusted virtual machine. | 06-16-2011 |
20130097602 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING VIRTUALIZATION OF A HETEROGENEOUS PROCESSOR POOL - A system for facilitating virtualization of a heterogeneous processor pool includes a processor allocation component and a hypervisor, each executing on a host computer. The processor allocation component identifies a plurality of physical processors available for computing and determines a set of flags, each of the set of flags identifying a type of functionality provided by each of a subset of the plurality of physical processors. The hypervisor, in communication with the processor allocation component, allocates, to at least one virtual machine, access to one of the subset of the plurality of physical processors. | 04-18-2013 |
