  1. 19 Virtual Machines

  2. The Ideal Program Development Environment • Interactivity of a personal computer • Power of a mainframe • megabytes of memory • high processing speed • rich instruction set • Access to full set of peripherals

  3. Fig. 19.1: A virtual machine implies multi-programming at the operating system level.

  4. Fig. 19.2: IBM operating systems.

  5. Fig. 19.3: The real computer is managed by a control program.

  6. Fig. 19.4: Additional control programs can run under CP.

  7. Fig. 19.5: The basic structure of a VM system.

  8. Fig. 19.6: CMS is an interactive, single-user operating system that controls a virtual machine under VM.

  9. The Control Program (CP) • Processor management • time slicing • Memory management • dynamic address translation • demand paging • Peripheral device management • real peripherals controlled by CP • virtual peripherals for each virtual machine

  10. Fig. 19.7: Visualize a page of data moving from an external device into real memory.

  11. Principles of Operation • System directory • Interrupts • real interrupt handled by CP • interrupt simulated for virtual OS • Privileged instructions • virtual OS runs in CP’s problem state • privileged instruction generates interrupt • CP handles interrupts

  12. Fig. 19.8: CP maintains a system directory that holds one entry for each virtual machine.

  13. Fig. 19.9: A user’s command class indicates the commands he or she is permitted to issue.

  14. Advantages • Supports program development environment • Increases levels of multiprogramming • Maintains compatibility with existing OS • Supports testing and parallel operation • Insulates operating environment from hardware

  15. Disadvantages • Time-dependent code is illegal • CCWs cannot be dynamically modified • Additional system overhead
