Dynamic device virtualization for use by guest user processes based on observed behaviors of native device drivers
Abstract:
A system and method for providing dynamic device virtualization is herein disclosed. According to one embodiment, the computer-implemented method includes providing a hypervisor and one or more guest virtual machines (VMs). Each guest VM is disposed to run a guest user process and the hypervisor is split into a device hypervisor and a compute hypervisor. The computer-implemented method further includes providing an interface between the device hypervisor and the compute hypervisor. The compute hypervisor manages an efficient use of CPU and memory of a host and the device hypervisor manages a device connected to the host by exploiting hardware acceleration of the device.
