Due Tuesday, November 6.
Read the following paper:
- Virtual Machine Monitors: Current
Technology and Future Trends - Rosenblum and Garfinkel
Comment on the paper. Provide a short (a few
sentences) summary of the focus of the paper or key arguments made.
Make sure to specifically address these points:
- How old are VMs? Why were they largely unused for so long?
- Why do the authors say that this technology is hot again?
- What are some of the main implementation issues and challenges?
What techniques can be used to address them?
- What role do you think VMs will play in the future? Why?
Your comments do not need to be long at all; I mostly want to
make sure that you've thought about the important parts of each
paper.
