Resource and Power Management Using Nested Heterogeneous Hypervisors

摘要

A server includes a plurality of processors, at least some of the processors being partitioned into virtual partitions using a virtual partition hypervisor. At least one of the virtual partitions executes a virtual machine hypervisor to implement a plurality of virtual machines within said at least one of said virtual partitions. The server also executes a workload manager application configured to dynamically reallocate the processors among the virtual partitions.
