Linux Plumbers Conf 2010

One Line Summary

Abstract

Efficient para-virtualization is fundamental for high performance I/O on guests, and virtio is the key element on this. The goal of this micro-conference discussion is to bring together people, around the virtio topic for:

1) Sharing experiences on implementing virtio on different flavours of hypervisors’ transport and effectively makes this knowledge available to others trying to port virtio to other hypervisor technologies.
2) Discuss the different back-end approaches (user-space, kernel…) with regard to challenges, advantages.
