提案#：CNS07-09168 07-07365 PI(S)：Dinda，Peter A.Maccabe，Arthur B.Bustaante，Fabian E.；Joseph，Russel E.机构：新墨西哥西北大学埃文斯顿分校，IL 60208-1110Albuquque，NM 87131标题：Colla Rsch：CRD：社区资源开发：开放源码项目建议：这个合作项目，为现代体系结构(那些支持Intel VT或AMD太平洋虚拟化扩展的体系结构)开发一个可扩展的开放源码虚拟机监视器(VMM)，旨在保持较小的代码库规模，同时支持广泛的可扩展性。该方法结合了主要模块的编译时组合，以类似于微内核的运行时可扩展性来配置VMM。该项目预计将产生一个用于系统和体系结构研究的基本工具--一个开放源码的可扩展的虚拟机监控器。为了满足FAST-OS努力确定的高端计算社区内的需求，VMM将被用作共享社区资源。广泛的影响：基础设施将在研究、教育和生产环境中有用。它将是免费的，并以源代码的形式提供给所有人。代表不足的群体通过西北大学的AGEP计划和为少数族裔服务的U NM大学受到影响。

Proposal #: CNS 07-09168 07-07365 PI(s): Dinda, Peter A. Maccabe, Arthur B. Bustamante, Fabian E.; Joseph, Russel E. Institution: Northwestern University University of New Mexico Evanston, 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 Machine Monitor (VMM) for modern architectures (those that support the Intel VT or AMD Pacifica virtualization extensions), aims to maintain a small codebase size while supporting extensive extensibility. The approach combines compile-time composition of major 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 and architecture, an open source extensible virtual machine monitor. Expecting to meet the needs within the high-end computing community identified by the FAST-OS effort, the VMM will be used as a shared community resource.Broader Impacts: The infrastructure will be useful in research and education and production context. It will be free and available to all in source code form. Underrepresented groups are impacted through Northwestern's AGEP program and through U NM, a minority serving university.
