Virtual software platform for the car

whitePaper | October 4, 2022

Virtualization technology is gaining acceptance in the automotive industry. It makes the development process of software systems more efficient, reduces development and BOM costs, and shortens time-to-market. Especially in the cockpit, manufacturers and their direct suppliers have now been using hypervisor-based systems for several years. This first step towards a new conception of solutions is now experiencing another paradigm shift: the use of open standards. It further enhances the advantages of virtualization. The fully virtualized guest operating systems can be flexibly deployed and reused across all hardware. Only then can the full potential of virtualization technology be fully exploited

Intel Page Modification Logging, a hardware virtualization feature: study and improvement for virtual machine working set estimation

whitePaper | January 7, 2020

Intel Page Modification Logging (PML) is a novel hardware feature for tracking virtual machine (VM) accessed memory pages. This task is essential in today’s data centers since it allows, among others, checkpointing, live migration and working set size (WSS) estimation. Relying on the Xen hypervisor, this paper studies PML from three angles: power consumption, efficiency, and performance impact on user applications. Our findings are as follows. First, PML does not incur any power consumption overhead. Second, PML reduces by up to 10.18% both VM live migration and checkpointing time. Third, PML slightly reduces by up to 0.95% the performance degradation on applications incurred by live migration and checkpointing.
