VM/370 Asymmetric Multiprocessing

A security retrofit of VMl370

The VM/370 Security Retrofit Program is a continuing research and development initiative, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), with additional funding provided by the Canadian Department of N ational Defense. The program's primary goal is the security retrofit of a popular commercial operating system, VM/370. 1 Two approaches were originally planned: (1) the design o...

The Origin of the VM/370 Time-Sharing System

VM/370 is an operating system which provides its multiple users with seemingly separate and independent IBM System/ 370 computing systems. These virtual machines are simulated using IBM Systeml370 hardware and have its same architecture. In addition, VM/370 provides a single-user interactive system for personal computing and a computer network system for information interchange among interconne...

Attack Trends

The early days The origins of VMs go back almost as far as modern computing itself. Born to optimize usage of expensive computing resources and provide users with a fully dedicated and interactive computer system, the early 1960s experiences in time-sharing systems at MIT, IBM, Bolt Beranek and Newman (now BBN Technologies), and the University of California, Berkeley, laid the foundations on wh...
