An embedded hypervisor is a hypervisor that supports the requirements of embedded systems. The requirements for an embedded hypervisor are distinct from hypervisors targeting server and desktop applications. An embedded hypervisor is designed into the embedded device from the outset, rather than loaded subsequent to device deployment. While desktop and enterprise environments use hypervisors to consolidate hardware and isolate computing environments from one another, in an embedded system, the various components typically function collectively to provide the device's functionality. Typical attributes of embedded virtualization include efficiency, security, communication, isolation and real-time capabilities.〔() Virtualization for Embedded Systems〕 == Background == Software virtualization has been a major topic in the enterprise space since the late 1960s, but only since the early 2000s has its use appeared in embedded systems. The use of virtualization and its implementation in the form of a hypervisor in embedded systems are very different from enterprise applications. An effective implementation of an embedded hypervisor must deal with a number of issues specific to such applications. These issues include the highly integrated nature of embedded systems, the requirement for isolated functional blocks within the system to communicate rapidly, the need for real-time/deterministic performance, the resource-constrained target environment and the wide range of security and reliability requirements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Embedded hypervisor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
