11/169953

Inventors:

Michael Richmond - Beaverton OR, US
Michael Kinney - Olympia WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/455

US Classification:

718001000

Abstract:

A lightweight virtual machine monitor (“LVMM”) allocates devices on a virtual host. In one embodiment, the LVMM identifies a primary and a secondary VM on the virtual host. The LVMM may expose various devices on the virtual host directly to the primary VM and provide these devices as virtual devices to the secondary partition.

Vincent Zimmer - Federal Way WA, US
Michael Rothman - Puyallup WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 1/24

US Classification:

713100000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus is described herein for emulating a physical trusted platform module (TPM) in a virtual monitor, such as a system management mode (SMM) or a system management interrupt (SMI) transfer monitor (STM). By allowing SMIs during a secure launch, SMM is allowed into the secure launch trust perimeter and a virtual monitor may emulate the structures, behaviors, and protcted storage of a physical TMP, such as the storage of cryptographic keys, secure verification, attestation, and other TPM functions.

Filed:

Sep 11, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/301999

Inventors:

John F. Pilat - Raleigh NC
Michael S. Richmond - Beaverton OR
Walter A. Wallach - San Jose CA
Stephen I. Schleimer - Chapel Hill NC

Assignee:

Data General Corporation - Westboro MA

International Classification:

G06F 900

US Classification:

364200

Abstract:

In the digital computer system of the present invention, data items called immediate names represent other data items. The immediate name specifies either the address of the represented data item or the address of a pointer to the represented data item. Each immediate name contains a base address specifier specifying one of a set of architectural base addresses, an indirection specifier specifying whether the immediate name specifies the address of the represented item or the address of a pointer to the item, and a displacement from the specified architectural base address. The architectural base addresses are contained in registers accessible to a processor in the digital data processing system. The registers are loaded only when the processor preforms a call operation or a return operation. When the immediate name specifies the address of the represented item, the processor produces the address by combining the displacement specified in the displacement specifier with the architectural base address indicated by the base address specifier.

International Classification:

G06F 930

US Classification:

364200

Abstract:

A data processing system having a flexible internal structure, protected from and effectively invisible to users, with multilevel control and stack mechanisms and capability of performing multiple, concurrent operations, and providing a flexible, simplified interface to users. The system is internally comprised of a plurality of separate, independent processors, each having a separate microinstruction control and at least one separate, independent port to a central communications and memory node. The communications and memory node is an independent processor having separate, independent microinstruction control and comprised of a plurality of independently operating, microinstruction controlled processors capable of performing multiple, concurrent memory and communications operations. Addressing mechanisms allow permanent, unique identification of information and an extremely large address space accessible and common to all such systems. Addresses are independent of system physical configuration.
