<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Hi, developers,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I come from the academia, I am really interested in the concept of OS
level virtualization.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I read a published paper, i.e., "Formal Requirements for virtualizable
Third Generation Architectures" by Popek and Goldberg in 1974, which is a
fundamental piece of work in the virtualization area.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In short, this paper concluded a theorem: a virtual machine monitor may be
constructed if the set of sensitive instructions for that computer is a subset
of the set of privileged instructions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am thinking whether the OpenVZ kernel is virtualizable, at least
comforming to one of the three properties of VMM, i.e., control of resource.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Currently I don't know how OpenVZ is implemented, which I am working
on, I need the help to answer if OpenVZ is theoretically and practically
able to control the resources allocated to a VE, and HOW sensitive
instructions are intercepted? Anyone??? </DIV>
