3.1Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)

Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) makes a single system appear as multiple independent systems to software. This allows multiple, independent operating systems to run simultaneously on a single system. Intel VT comprises technology components to support virtualization of platforms based on Intel architecture microprocessors and chipsets.

Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) for IA-32, Intel® 64 and Intel® Architecture (Intel® VT-x) added hardware support in the processor to improve the virtualization performance and robustness. Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) extends Intel® VT-x by adding hardware assisted support to improve I/O device virtualization performance.

Intel® VT-x specifications and functional descriptions are included in the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 3B and is available at:

Intel® VT-x Objectives

Intel VT-x provides hardware acceleration for virtualization of IA platforms. Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) can use Intel VT-x features to provide an improved reliable virtualized platform. By using Intel VT-x, a VMM is:

•Robust: VMMs no longer need to use paravirtualization or binary translation. This means that off-the-shelf operating systems and applications can be run without any special steps.

•Enhanced: Intel VT enables VMMs to run 64-bit guest operating systems on IA x86 processors.
