Maccabe, Arthur B.Bustamante, Fabian E.; Joseph, Russel E.Institution: Northwestern University University of New MexicoEvanston, IL 60208-1110 Albuquerque, NM 87131Title: Colla Rsch:CRD: Community Resource Development: An Open SourceProject Proposed:This collaborative project, developing an extensible open source Virtual MachineMonitor (VMM) for modern architectures (those that support the Intel VT or AMDPacifica virtualization extensions), aims to maintain a small codebase size whilesupporting extensive extensibility. The approach combines compile-time composition ofmajor modules to configure the VMM with run-time extensibility akin to a microkernel.The project is expected to produce a fundamental tool for research in systems andarchitecture, an open source extensible virtual machine monitor. Expecting to meet theneeds within the high-end computing community identified by the FAST-OS effort, theVMM will be used as a shared community resource.Broader Impacts: The infrastructure will be useful in research and education andproduction context. It will be free and available to all in source code form.Underrepresented groups are impacted through Northwestern's AGEP program andthrough U NM, a minority serving university.
