Advances in virtualization aid information assurance
Virtualization is a concept that has been tossed around for many years.
Today’s technology is moving virtualization to the forefront because of its ability to reduce the amount of hardware required to support an application.
Previously, virtualization was possible with some creative Operating System (OS) use and user/privileged memory access.
However, the newest multicore processors make implementing virtualization much more practical fo...

Virtualization enables multicore platforms for real-time embedded systems
With virtualization getting a lot of play lately, we asked for a perspective on how virtualization can address industrial computing problems.
Paul explores how special software can combine real-time code, perhaps even legacy code, with Windows or Linux code running the user interface on a modern platform.

White Paper: Virtualization: Requirements
This document of the SCOPE Alliance Virtualization Working Group aims to provide a set of hardware and software virtualization requirements that describe functional and non-functional aspects of virtualization features required by the NEPs/TEMs in support of their carrier grade telecommunications solutions.
The initial focus of the Virtualization Working Group is on the core networking area, with emphasis on the control and data planes.
Other ...

White Paper: Virtualization: State of the Art
This purpose of this document is to describe the state-of-the-art of virtualization with a focus on system virtualization, rather than application virtualization.
This document aims to classify the various virtualization approaches, along with their goals, advantages and drawbacks.
Such a classification is expected to help identify virtualization technologies that might be applied within the network/telecommunications equipment space.
In addit...

White Paper: Virtualization: Use Cases
Virtual machines, even though they are assigned to different physical machines, might be tied together to provide a larger, more powerful machine to the applications they host.
Potential use cases have not yet been clearly defined.
Various possibilities have been discussed without reaching a consensus, including: Single system image without redundancy - Active redundancy between two different virtual machines The SCOPE Alliance Virtualizat...

Virtualization yields hardware optimization and new embedded architectures
I’ve written in this space many times about multicore processors, serial switched fabrics, and virtual environments.
But for the years I’ve been pontificating, I’ve always assumed that each stood on its own merits – that Freescale 8641D multicore CPUs, for instance, would add more performance to an embedded system.
Or that a serial switched fabric such as RapidIO would increase the data bandwidth within a system’s...
