Message-ID: <4228BE7D.6050603@xensource.com> (raw)

I am new to VMM internals, but have experience in database (Sybase) 
internals and data center infrastructure.   RDBMS engines that run on 
many OSes go out of their way to reimplement OS facilities (e.g. memory 
management, threads, disk and network I/O) to insulate their performance 
from OS intermediation.  

The dispelling of newbie ignorance can sometimes yield good diagrams for 
future newbies.  Do you have recommendations for research papers with 
diagrams/history of virtualization implementations?  I'm looking for 
high-level overviews with conceptual models that are low-level 
accurate.  Two overview papers:

Denali, VMware, User-Mode Linux (is Fig. 3 correct? where would Xen go?)

   http://www.eecs.umich.edu/techreports/cse/2002/CSE-TR-465-02.pdf

VM/370, Denali, Xen:

Is there a definitive bibliography of web-accessible virtualization papers?
