The Research Hypervisor from IBM research has been developed over the last 3 years to validate virtualization features in new hardware architectures and to study fundamental research issues in virtualization. For example, the Research Hypervisor has been used:
The Research Hypervisor was designed from the start to be multi-platform, and today supports both the Power and x86 architectures. On Power, it conforms to the interfaces used by Linux running on IBM’s commercial POWER Hypervisor in the new POWER5-based servers, and hence runs unmodified Linux distributions. On Intel we support a modified Linux kernel and demonstrate the multi-platform characteristics of the POWER Hypervisor interfaces.
