US Patent:

7313793, Dec 25, 2007

Filed:

Jul 11, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/193531

Inventors:

Eric P. Traut - San Carlos CA, US
Rene A. Vega - Scotts Valley CA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 9/455

US Classification:

718 1, 709201, 711 6, 711165

Abstract:

A method is provided for increasing the efficiency of virtual machine processing. A parent virtual machine is provided on a host computer. The parent virtual machine is temporarily or permanently suspended. A child virtual machine is created at a new location by forking the parent virtual machine. The child virtual machine may not initially include all the stored data that is associated with the parent virtual machine.

Appl. No.:

13/164634

Inventors:

Rene Antonio Vega - Scotts Valley CA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 9/455

US Classification:

718 1

Abstract:

In an emulated computing environment, a method is provided for allocating resources of the host computer system among multiple virtual machines resident on the host computer system. On the basis of the proportional weight of each virtual machine, a proportional share of resources is allocated for each virtual machine. If, for a particular virtual machine, the calculated share is less than a reserved minimum share, the virtual machine is allocated its reserved minimum share as its share of computing device resources. An emulation program modulates the access of each virtual machine to the resources of the host computer system.

International Classification:

G06F 9/455

Abstract:

One or more virtual processors can be added or removed from a virtual machine based on CPU pressure measured within the virtual machine. In addition to the foregoing, CPU pressure can also be used to determine whether to remove a virtual processor from a virtual machine, which may cause the computer system to consume less power. In the alternative, virtual processors can be parked and/or unparked in order to reduce the amount of power consumed by the virtual machine. In addition, virtual processors can be forcibly parked during a migration operation.
