This course will cover the design and implementation of virtual machine monitors as well other recent trends in virtualization. The first half of the course will cover traditional virtualization techniques such as trap-and-emulate, binary translation, shadow page tables and device emulation. New hardware features introduced by Intel and AMD to assist virtualization will also be covered. The second half of the course will survey the classic papers and other recent developments in virtualization. In addition to the course instructors, we will have guest lecturers who in many cases will cover seminal virtualization papers which they have authored. The course provides a unique opportunity to learn from industry leaders in the field. This course can be used to satisfy MS track elective requirements for software systems, network systems, and computer security tracks.
