7.1.1.1
Intel
®
Virtualization Technology
Intel
®
Virtualization Technology (Intel
®
VT) makes a single system appear as multiple independent systems to software. With this technology,
multiple, independent operating systems can run simultaneously on a single system. The technology components support virtualization of
platforms based on Intel architecture microprocessors and chipsets. Intel
®
Virtualization Technology for IA-32, Intel
®
64 and Intel
®
Architecture
(Intel
®
VT-x) added hardware support in the processor to improve the virtualization performance and robustness.
RTS Real-Time Hypervisor supports Intel
®
VT and is verified on all current congatec x86 hardware.
Note
congatec supports RTS Hypervisor.
