APPLICATION PUBLISHING USING MEMORY STATE SHARING

摘要

Examples described herein enable memory state sharing among a plurality of virtual machines (VM) including a parent VM and a child VM. A request for memory state sharing between the parent VM and the child VM is received, and the parent VM is suspended. The child VM resumes execution of one or more suspended applications. In one example, the child FM is forked with pre-loaded, suspended applications from the parent VM. Aspects of the disclosure offer a high performance, resource efficient solution that outperforms traditional approaches in areas of software compatibility, stability, quality of service control, re-source utilization, and more.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a memory area associated with a computing device, said memory area storing data shared among a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) including a parent VM and a child VM; and a processor programmed to:
receive a request for memory state sharing between the parent VM and the child VM;lock one or more code pages associated with one or more applications into the memory area;suspend execution of the one or more applications; andsuspend the parent VM, wherein the child VM resumes execution of the one or more suspended applications.
