PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To extend a processor for execution of secure embedded containers.SOLUTION: An OS (operating system) or VMM (virtual machine manager) independent architecture creates one or more containers on a processor by dynamically partitioning resources (such as processor cycles, memory, devices) between the host OS/VMM and the OI container. An OI resource manager (OIRM 124) may perform time sharing operations between the host OS/VMM container and the OS independent container. As a result, some embodiments allow idle processor cycles to be used for a useful purpose (e.g., manageability) with no (or reduced) impact on OS/VMM execution performance. |
