Hi,
The NOVA project is happy to announce that there is a new prerelease of the NOVA microhypervisor available for download at http://www.hypervisor.org/ or http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~us15/nova/ under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.
NOVA is based on a modern microhypervisor written in C++ and assembler. The current implementation runs on multi-core x86 machines that support ACPI, under QEMU (including VM support), and as a microkernel in a virtual machine on top of itself.
NOVA makes use of hardware virtualization features such as Intel VT-x/VT-d or AMD-V, and facilitates running unmodified guest operating systems in virtual machines with near-native performance.
The new release brings virtual-machine support to QEMU and older AMD CPUs, both of which lack nested paging. Furthermore, the microhypervisor can now translate related capabilities during message passing.
Cheers,
- Udo
