Virtual machines are rapidly becoming an essential element in computer system design. They provide system security, flexibility, cross-platform compatibility, reliability, and resource efficiency. Designed to solve problems in combining and using major computer system components, virtual machine technologies play a key role in many disciplines, including operating systems, programming languages, and computer architecture. For example, at the process level, virtualizing technologies support dynamic program translation and platform-independent network computing. At the system level, they support multiple operating system environments on the same hardware platform and in servers. Historically, individual virtual machine techniques have been developed within the specific disciplines that employ them (in some cases they arent even referred to as virtual machines), making it difficult to see their common underlying relationships in a cohesive way. In this text, Smith and Nair take a new approach by examining virtual machines as a unified discipline. Pulling together cross-cutting technologies allows virtual machine implementations to be studied and engineered in a well-structured manner. Topics include instruction set emulation, dynamic program translation and optimization, high level virtual machines (including Java and CLI), and system virtual machines for both single-user systems and servers. *Examines virtual machine technologies across the disciplines that use themoperating systems, programming languages and computer architecturedefining a new and unified discipline. *Reviewed by principle researchers at Microsoft, HP, and by other industry research groups. *Written by two authors who combine several decades of expertise in computer system research and development, both in academia and industry. 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on July 25, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions. 650 0$aVirtual computer systems. 650 0$aComputer architecture. 650 0$aSystem design. 650 6$aSystèmes virtuels (Informatique) 650 6$aOrdinateurs$xArchitecture. 650 6$aSystèmes, Conception de. 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aNair, Ravi.$eauthor$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0739035 776 1 $cOriginal$z1558609105$z9781558609105$w(DLC) 2005013376$w(OCoLC)58830355 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781558609105$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 41$zTable of contents only$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0512/2005013376.html 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0622/2005013376-d.html 907 $a.b13655292$b24-02-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003249179707536 994 $aC0$bTEF 996 $aVirtual machines$91463976 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale029$b24-01-08$cm$dm $e-$feng$gne $h0$i0
