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 supports x86-32 SMP platforms with hardware virtualization features such as Intel VT-x/VT-d or AMD-V, and facilitates running multiple unmodified guest operating systems in virtual machines with near-native performance. On machines without VT-x or AMD-V, the functionality is reduced to that of a microkernel.
The most prominent new feature is support for I/O virtualization and direct assignment of host devices to guest VMs using the IOMMU. For a list of other changes, please see the change log included with the source code.
Cheers,
- Udo
