DARCO: Infrastructure for Research on HW/SW co-designed Virtual Machines

ABSTRACT One of the major problems of academic research is the unavailability of appropriate tools where researchers can develop and evaluate their ideas. Research groups tend to spend a significant amount of time in developing tools which results in an abundance of incomplete tools which do not provide sufficient features for other groups to use. Often these tools are never made public which makes the reproducibility of the results difficult and time consuming.
