Abstract: A method, apparatus and system may utilize virtual machines in a grid computing environment. More specifically, hosts in a grid computing network may be configured to run various virtual machines. Additionally, these hosts may be configured to designate one or more of the virtual machines to processing grid applications. A resource manager may access predefined policies to monitor the grid virtual machine and manage resource allocation within the grid network, in conjunction with a virtual machine manager or a virtual machine monitor (“VMM”).

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system may optimize context switching between virtual machines (“VMs”). According to an embodiment of the present invention, a first processor core may execute a first VM while a second processor core may concurrently retrieve information pertaining to the state of a second VM into a processor cache. When the virtual machine manager (“VMM”) performs a context switch between the first and the second VMs, the second processor may immediately begin executing the second VM, while the first processor may save the state information for the first VM. In yet another embodiment, different threads on a processor may be utilized to execute different VMs on a host.

Abstract translation: 方法，装置和系统可以优化虚拟机（“VM”）之间的上下文切换。 根据本发明的实施例，第一处理器核心可以执行第一VM，而第二处理器核心可以同时将与第二VM的状态有关的信息检索到处理器高速缓存中。 当虚拟机管理器（“VMM”）执行第一和第二VM之间的上下文切换时，第二处理器可以立即开始执行第二VM，而第一处理器可以保存第一VM的状态信息。 在另一个实施例中，处理器上的不同线程可以用于在主机上执行不同的VM。

Abstract: A server receives a request for a service. The server determines if a virtual machine already exists that offers the service. If so, the server returns an identifier of the virtual machine to the requesting client so that the client may access the service from the virtual machine. Otherwise, the server attempts to create an image of a virtual machine offering the service. If successful in creating the image, the image is installed as a new virtual machine in a host machine, and the server returns an identifier of the newly created virtual machine to the client.

Abstract translation: 服务器接收到服务请求。 服务器确定是否已经存在提供服务的虚拟机。 如果是这样，服务器将虚拟机的标识符返回给请求的客户端，以便客户端可以从虚拟机访问该服务。 否则，服务器尝试创建提供服务的虚拟机的映像。 如果成功创建映像，则映像将作为新虚拟机安装在主机中，并且服务器将新创建的虚拟机的标识符返回给客户端。

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system may optimize context switching between virtual machines (“VMs”). According to an embodiment of the present invention, separate caches may be utilized to store and retrieve state information for each respective VM on a host. When the virtual machine manager (“VMM”) performs a context switch between a first and a second VM, the VMM may instruct the processor to point from one cache (associated with the first VM) to another (associated with the second VM). Since the caches are dedicated to their respective VMs, the state information for each VM may be retained, thus eliminating the overhead of restoring information from memory and/or disk.

Abstract translation: 方法，装置和系统可以优化虚拟机（“VM”）之间的上下文切换。 根据本发明的实施例，可以使用单独的高速缓存来存储和检索主机上的每个相应VM的状态信息。 当虚拟机管理器（“VMM”）执行第一和第二VM之间的上下文切换时，VMM可以指示处理器从一个高速缓存（与第一VM相关联）指向另一个（与第二VM相关联）。 由于高速缓存专用于其各自的VM，因此可以保留每个VM的状态信息，从而消除了从存储器和/或盘恢复信息的开销。

Abstract: A system implements dishonest policies for managing unauthorized access requests. The system includes memory management hardware to store a set of dishonest policy bits, each dishonest policy bit that is configured to a predetermined value indicating disallowed access for one of a set of memory ranges. When a processor receives an access request for a location in a memory range to which access is not allowed as indicated by a set dishonest policy bit, the processor returns a false indication according to a dishonest policy that the requested access has been performed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for transporting physical objects from real physical life into virtual worlds. Briefly stated, the method includes receiving characteristic and structure data from an object constructed in the real world. The characteristic and structure data is obtained from the object using a plurality of sensors placed in the vicinity of the object to sense the characteristics and structure of the object. The characteristic and structure data of the object is used to produce code necessary to create an equivalent representation of the object in a virtual world.
