Memory controller for providing a plurality of defined areas of a mass storage medium as independent mass memories to a master operating system core for exclusive provision to virtual machines

摘要

A computer system includes at least one processor, a first mass memory and a second mass memory. The computer system implements a master operating system core, a first operating system core and at least one second operating system core on the processor under control of the master operating system core. The memory controller provides the master operating system core with defined areas of a mass storage medium as a first mass memory and at least one second mass memory, each independent of one another, and controls mapping of the first mass memory and of the at least one second mass memory to the defined areas of the mass storage medium. The master operating system core allows the first operating system core and the at least one second operating system core to have exclusive access to at least one of the mass memories.
