Embedded Hypervisor
An embedded hypervisor is a type 1 hypervisor that supports the requirements of embedded systems development and is designed into the embedded device from the outset, rather than loaded subsequent to device deployment. The requirements for a hypervisor architecture suitable for embedded applications is quite distinct from hypervisors aimed at enterprise applications, which have a fundamentally different set of requirements. See references & for a more detailed discussion. These requirements are summarized below.
- A small, fast type 1 hypervisor with support for multiple VMs;
- Support for lightweight but secure encapsulation of medium-grain subsystem components that interact strongly;
- High-bandwidth, low-latency communication between system components, subject to a configurable, system-wide security policy;
- Minimal impact on system resources & real-time performance;
- Ability to implement a scheduling policy between VMs and provide support for real-time system components;

Famous quotes containing the word embedded:
“The idea of feminine authority is so deeply embedded in the human subconscious that even after all these centuries of father-right the young child instinctively regards the mother as the supreme authority. He looks upon the father as equal with himself, equally subject to the woman’s rule. Children have to be taught to love, honor, and respect the father.”
—Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)
