An Open Source Hypervisor for Aerospace

An Open Source Hypervisor for Aerospace

Hypervisors partition resources based on time in a device’s CPU, space in the Memory, and bandwidth in the I/O channels.

ARINC 653 is the standard which flight-certified software development must meet. DornerWorks’ Virtuosity Hypervisor does this by isolating applications to run independently of one another, each in its own virtual container called a “partition,” providing mutually-exclusive access to all necessary systems without affecting the performance of an unrelated partition.

This research demonstrates the value hypervisors provide to the aerospace industry.
