Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, a system, a program, and a computer data structure for providing two server virtualization levels. SOLUTION: A first hypervisor provides a first virtualization level while allowing a plurality of logic sections to share a set of resources. A second hypervisor provide a second virtualization level while allowing a plurality of independent virtual machine to share resources assigned to a single logic section. All the events about all the virtual machines in the signal logic section are grouped into a single event queue possessed by a section for receiving an event notification from the shared resources about the single logic section. An interruption request is transmitted via a signal to the grouped events from the event queue possessed by the section, and demultiplexing of the grouped events from the event queue possessed by the section into individual virtualized event queues assigned on a virtual machine base is carried out by means of the machine.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the function of functionally enhancing input and output processing to reduce a host processing overhead associated with execution of input and output operation such as QDIO operation, whereas the function of functionally enhancing the input and output processing is needed to facilitate interpretation of an input and output operation request from a pageable guest. SOLUTION: An input and output operation request from a pageable storage mode guest is interpreted without intervention of a host. A request issued by the pageable storage mode guest is processed in a pageable mode virtual environment by one or more processors in the environment without intervention from one or more hosts in the environment. The processing of the request includes operation of buffer state information retained in a host storage for the guest by at least one processor. The operation is started by the guest, and executed through an instruction processed by one or more processors. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a computer program, a system, and a computer mounting method for processing a queue of a processing environment. SOLUTION: Interruption is started in response to queue transfer to a response pending state from a non-response pending state (steps 206, 208). The interruption signal informs a processor that a response to a request is waiting on the queue. For the queue to display an effect of its interruption capability, it becomes valid for the interruption (step 200). COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing common access to data spaces by a plurality of virtual machine guests emulated on a host computer system. A token received from a given one of the virtual machine guests is used to identify a particular host data space. The guest also supplies an offset. The offset and the identified host data space are then used to derive a host absolute address representative of a data location in the host data space.
