  • Porting the QEMU Virtualization Software to MINIX 3
    Porting the QEMU virtualization software to MINIX 3 Master's thesis in Computer Science Erik van der Kouwe Student number 1397273 [email protected] Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Faculty of Sciences Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Supervised by dr. Andrew S. Tanenbaum Second reader: dr. Herbert Bos 12 August 2009 Abstract The MINIX 3 operating system aims to make computers more reliable and more secure by keeping privileged code small and simple. Unfortunately, at the moment only few major programs have been ported to MINIX. In particular, no virtualization software is available. By isolating software environments from each other, virtualization aids in software development and provides an additional way to achieve reliability and security. It is unclear whether virtualization software can run efficiently within the constraints of MINIX' microkernel design. To determine whether MINIX is capable of running virtualization software, I have ported QEMU to it. QEMU provides full system virtualization, aiming in particular at portability and speed. I find that QEMU can be ported to MINIX, but that this requires a number of changes to be made to both programs. Allowing QEMU to run mainly involves adding standardized POSIX functions that were previously missing in MINIX. These additions do not conflict with MINIX' design principles and their availability makes porting other software easier. A list of recommendations is provided that could further simplify porting software to MINIX. Besides just porting QEMU, I also investigate what performance bottlenecks it experiences on MINIX. Several areas are found where MINIX does not perform as well as Linux. The causes for these differences are investigated.

  • Integrating Virtualization Technology Into Remote Labs: a Three Year
    AC 2009-318: INTEGRATING VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGY INTO REMOTE LABS: A THREE-YEAR EXPERIENCE Peng Li, East Carolina University Page 14.771.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Integrating Virtualization Technology into Remote Lab: A Three- Year Experience 1. Introduction and Background Many colleges and universities are facing rising enrollments while the budgets have not been increased proportionally. In our program, enrollment has gone up significantly in the past few years, especially in the distance education (DE) section. How to use the limited resources to deliver quality education effectively and efficiently becomes a real challenge. To deal with this challenge, we have experimented with different virtualization options in the past three years. This paper is a follow-up to the studies1,2 we presented at the previous ASEE conferences and summarizes our three-year experience. Virtualization technology allows multiple guest virtual machines to run simultaneously on a physical computer. The technology was first developed3 at IBM for mainframe systems in the 1960s. The first x86 virtualization product, “VMware Virtual Platform” was released by VMware Inc. in 19994. The year of 2009 is the 10th anniversary of this breakthrough. The x86 virtualization technology has gradually become more mature and stable since early 2000s5. Virtual machines were reportedly used for educational purposes in college computer labs as early as 20026,7,8. However, the technology has not been adopted broadly until recent years due to a few factors: 1) the early virtualization products were buggy and not very reliable; 2) the virtualization software packages were resource-demanding and costly. Therefore they were usually hosted on high-end machines in centralized on-campus computer labs.
