This chapter could only scratch the surface of the Xen project, and the relevant research papers are the best source of further details.
These first two papers describe the architecture of Xen 1.0 and 2.0, respectively:
| Barham, Paul, et al. “Xen and the art of virtualization,” Proceedings of the 19th ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles, October, 2003. |
| Fraser, Keir, et al. “Safe hardware access with the Xen virtual machine monitor,” Proceedings of the 1st OASIS Workshop, October, 2004. |
The following papers describe some of the new chipset and processor technology that has been developed to aid virtualization:
| Ben-Yehuda, Muli, et al. “Using IOMMUs for virtualization in Linux and Xen,” Proceedings of the 2006 Ottawa Linux Symposium, July, 2006. |
| Dong, Yaozu, et al. “Extending Xen with Intel virtualization technology,” Intel® Technology Journal, August, 2006. |
Finally, Xen is under active development and continually evolving. The best way to keep abreast of new developments is to download the source code and participate in the mailing lists. Both can be found at http://www.xen.org/.
