Abstract

See full text

A host computer includes a virtual machine including a device-specific nonvolatile memory interface (NVMI). A nonvolatile memory virtualization abstraction layer (NVMVAL) hardware device communicates with the device-specific NVMI of the virtual machine. A NVMVAL driver is executed by the host computer and communicates with the NVMVAL hardware device. The NVMVAL hardware device advertises a local NVM device to the device-specific NVMI of the virtual machine. The NVMVAL hardware device and the NVMVAL driver are configured to virtualize access by the virtual machine to remote NVM that is remote from the virtual machine as if the remote NVM is local to the virtual machine.
