Abstract

Virtual machine (VM) systems are a major development in computer systems design. By providing an efficient facsimile of one or more complete computer systems, virtual machines have extended the multi-access, multi-programming, multi-processing systems of the past decade to be multi-environment systems as well. Thus, many of the advantages in ease of system use previously enjoyed only by application programmers have been made available to systems programmers.
