UKCF: A New Graphics Driver Cross-Platform Translation Framework for Virtual Machines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual machine with dynamic binary translation system is the key technology to solve software compatibility problem. But traditional user space binary translation systems can’t translate hardware drivers such as graphics drivers in operating system kernel directly, instead, they need translate the entire operating system. To solve this problem, we designed a new binary translation framework. This framework has a user space translator and a kernel space translator working coordinated and can translate graphics drivers directly. Compared with traditional binary translation systems, this framework can significantly improve the performance of the virtual machine. Based on our experiment, the multimedia performance of virtual machines can been improved about 30%.

Device driver reuse via virtual machines
Device drivers constitute a significant portion of an operating system’s source code. The effort to develop a new driver set is a sobering hurdle to the pursuit of novel operating system ventures. A practical solution is to reuse drivers, but this can contradict design goals in a new operating system. We offer a new approach to device-driver reuse, with a focus on promoting novel operating-syst...
متن کاملA Volume Rendering Extension for the OpenSG Scene Graph API
We will present the current state of our ongoing work on a simple to use, extensible and cross-platform volume rendering library. Primary target of our framework is interactive scientific visualization, but volumetric effects are also desirable in other fields of computer graphics, e.g. virtual reality applications. The framework we present is based on texture-based direct volume rendering. We ...
متن کاملVirtual manufacturing cells scheduling considering lotstreaming and sequence dependent setup times
In this paper, a new mathematical model for the problem of job scheduling in virtual manufacturing cells (VMC) is presented to minimizing the completion time of all jobs. Sequence dependent setup times of machines is considered and lot-streaming is possible. In Virtual manufacturing cells, each job has a different processing path and there is a set of machines for processing each operation. The...
متن کاملECE902 Virtual Machine Final Project: MIPS to CRAY-2 Binary Translation
Binary translation is an important component for translating virtual machine. The ABI virtual machines such as FX!32 [1], SUN WABI [2], and SHADE [3] use binary translator to translate application binaries with an ISA different from hardware platform so that they can be executed on that hardware platform. Some system uses binary translator as a component of dynamic optimization. In this paper, ...
متن کاملA Near Optimal Approach in Choosing The Appropriate Physical Machines for Live Virtual Machines Migration in Cloud Computing
Migration of Virtual Machine (VM) is a critical challenge in cloud computing. The process to move VMs or applications from one Physical Machine (PM) to another is known as VM migration. In VM migration several issues should be considered. One of the major issues in VM migration problem is selecting an appropriate PM as a destination for a migrating VM. To face this issue, several approaches are...
