CERCS researchers Karsten Schwan, Richard Fujimoto, Mustaq Ahamad, Ada
Gavrilovska, and Calton Pu are interacting with IBM and Intel Corporation
in research on Future Hypervisor-based Operating Systems. A multi-year
interaction of CERCS researchers with industry partners has been
investigating the challenges and opportunities presented by
hypervisor-based systems. CERCS students have worked with Dresden's
micro-kernel group; they have developed hypervisors for IA32 platforms
with IBM's TJWatson-based K42 group, and they have repeatedly interned at
Intel Labs to help develop virtualization technologies for future Intel
platforms. Beyond past and forthcoming research publications in this
domain, a first concrete outcome of these interactions is a large-scale
research grant from Intel's Research Council and Intel Labs for work on
Scalable Hypervisors for Heterogeneous Multi-core Platforms, awarded to
CERCS researchers Karsten Schwan and Richard Fujimoto. The award is
helping fund an active community of CERCS graduate students to
restructure the Xen hypervisor for scalable operation on future
multi-core machines.
