Hypervisors create virtual machines that are well-insulated from external corruption and allow mixed systems with different safety requirements to run on the same system-on-a-chip (SoC). But virtualization is rarely straightforward. Your virtualized guest’s operating system may have limited configuration or virtual interface options. Or you may be compelled to introduce new features even if it could lead to a drop in performance.
Configuring virtual machines for optimal performance – particularly in safety certified environments— takes specialized skills and tuning techniques. This webinar explores best practices for hypervisor analysis and tuning and presents techniques and tooling examples you can use when building hypervisor-enabled devices.
Join us for this one-hour webinar and learn how to:
- Start off right with initial virtual machine and guest configurations
- Use both top down and bottom up analysis to monitor system performance
- Tune VirtIO shared interfaces such as disk, network, graphics and audio
- Add instrumentation from within the guest for even finer-grained analysis
The tuning techniques we will discuss are common to all hypervisors that use virtual CPUs, along with pass-through and virtual device support. We will use the QNX Hypervisor for Safety to show a working example of the techniques in action.
