Acer E3-1220 v3 KC.12201.3E3 Manual De Usuario

This chapter provides a high-level description of Intel technologies implemented in the

processor.

The implementation of the features may vary between the processor SKUs.

Details on the different technologies of Intel processors and other relevant external

notes are located at the Intel technology web site: 

Intel

®

 Virtualization Technology (Intel

®

 VT) makes a single system appear as multiple

independent systems to software. This allows multiple, independent operating systems

to run simultaneously on a single system. Intel VT comprises technology components

to support virtualization of platforms based on Intel architecture microprocessors and

chipsets.

Intel

®

 Virtualization Technology (Intel

®

 VT) for IA-32, Intel

®

 64 and Intel

®

Architecture (Intel

®

 VT-x) added hardware support in the processor to improve the

virtualization performance and robustness. Intel

®

 Virtualization Technology for

Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) extends Intel

®

 VT-x by adding hardware assisted support to

improve I/O device virtualization performance.

Intel

®

 VT-x specifications and functional descriptions are included in the Intel

IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 3B and is available at:

The Intel VT-d specification and other VT documents can be referenced at:

Intel VT-x provides hardware acceleration for virtualization of IA platforms. Virtual

Machine Monitor (VMM) can use Intel VT-x features to provide an improved reliable

virtualized platform. By using Intel VT-x, a VMM is:
•

Robust: VMMs no longer need to use paravirtualization or binary translation. This

means that they will be able to run off-the-shelf operating systems and

applications without any special steps.

•

Enhanced: Intel VT enables VMMs to run 64-bit guest operating systems on IA

x86 processors.
