BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A conventional virtual-machine monitor (VM monitor) typically runs on a computer and presents to other software the abstraction of one or more virtual machines. Each virtual machine may function as a self-contained platfor…

COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE DESIGNING FOR PERFORMANCE NINTH EDITION In principle, then, every virtual memory reference can cause two physical mem-ory accesses: one to fetch the appropriate page table entry, and one to fetch the desired dat…

全面学习理解TLB(Translation Look-aside Buffer)地址变换高速缓存 前言: 本文学习思路是:存在缘由   --> 存在好处 --> 定义性质 --> 具体分析 存在缘由: 由于地址映射(从虚拟地址转换成物理地址)需要的开销开大. 转换过程如下: 第一次访问内存是访问页表,取出虚拟页对应的物理页. 第二次访问内存是访问实际内存地址. 为了提高效率,现代CPU都包含了一个特殊Cache来跟踪最近使用过的地址变换,这个就是TLB. 明显好处: 如果有了TLB,那么…

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention generally relates to virtual machine management, and more particularly to efficient scheduling of virtual machines using processor state information. Virtualization of machine resources has been of significan…
