ACRN - A Big Little Hypervisor for IoT Development

Explore the concept of ACRN, an open-source partitioning hypervisor reference stack for IoT and embedded devices, in this informative conference talk by Eddie Dong from Intel. Discover how this device hypervisor addresses the gap between datacenter hypervisors, hard partitioning hypervisors, and select industrial applications. Learn about its key features, including a small footprint code base for simplicity and low latency, improved boot time, support for standards like Virt-IO, and compatibility with Intel Architecture hardware platforms. Delve into the architecture overview, verified boot sequence, SEED virtualization, and various virtualization techniques for storage, network, GPU, audio, and USB. Gain insights from Eddie Dong's extensive experience in server virtualization and his contributions to projects like COLO and device hypervisor development.
