| | VM (Operating system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | VM is an early and influential virtual machine operating system from IBM, apparently the first true virtual machine system. | | | Like the Apollo space program of the same era, this early VM version and its hardware platform were way ahead of their time. | | | Nowadays the most popular is probably Linux on zSeries, and the major reason is that VM offers a level of sophisticated workload management on the mainframe that Linux alone does not yet offer. |

| | VM (Operating system) - InfoSearchPoint.com |
| | VM is named for its ability to run software in virtual machines which are isolated from each other; each user has the illusion of using a complete computer and can use their own operating system on this "private" computer. | | | Other operating systems that can now be run in virtual machines under VM include DOS, MVS, VM itself, Unix, MUSIC, and, on some systems which are used as Web servers, the operating system run in the many virtual machines is Linux. | | | In fact, development of all operating systems for the System 370 relied heavily on VM/370, running on System 360 Model 67 hardware.) |

| | The IBM 360/67 and CP/CMS |
| | Such systems provided each user with a "virtual computer," more powerful than the real computer the system ran on. | | | There were bugs in the file system, and although the virtual 360 had both user and system states, CMS didn't keep its file system tables protected from user programs: an errant application could destroy the entire contents of the user's P-disk. | | | I worked with a team of system programmers who were as green as I was (we all had blue reference cards, mine might be around here somewhere) trying to satisfy the civil engineers etc who would have much rather have control of their own machine, except they couldn't afford it. |

| | The exokernel architecture is essentially the extension of the philosophy of RISC cpu architecture to the operating system level. | | | On the other hand, a lot of "system" work on Linux gets done by efficient message passing; it's just a part of the system you are not involved in at all (hint: it's the X Window System). | | | New kinds of deadlocks and other error conditions are possible between system components that would not be possible with a monolithic kernel. |

| | Plex86 x86 Virtual Machine Project |
| | Rather than implement a full and heavyweight VM which can run all guest Operating Systems (OSes), the new approach is designed to run only Linux VMs, making the new plex86 architecture on the order of 10x or 100x more simplistic. | | | Guest kernel code is executed at a less priviliged level, causing privileged operations to generate exceptions which are managed by the VM monitor. | | | Rather, guest Linux code is executed as-is in a safe VM environment managed by a VM monitor. |
