Abstract
In one implementation, a method of sharing a physical device between multiple virtual machines is provided. The method includes receiving, from a first virtual machine, a request to access a physical device of a computing device. The method also includes assigning, by a processing device, the physical device to the first virtual machine in view of power state information associated with the physical device of the computing device, wherein the power state information is received from one or more other virtual machines of the computing device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, from a first virtual machine, a request to access a physical device of a computing device;
- and
- assigning, by a processing device, the physical device to the first virtual machine in view of power state information associated with the physical device of the computing device, wherein the power state information is received from one or more other virtual machines of the computing device.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory to store data;
- a processing device operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device to:
- receive, from a first virtual machine, a request to access a physical device of a computing device;
- and
- assign, by a processing device, the physical device to the first virtual machine in view of power state information associated with the physical device of the computing device, wherein the power state information is received from one or more other virtual machines of the computing device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- receive, from a first virtual machine, a request to access a physical device of a computing device;
- and
- assign, by a processing device, the physical device to the first virtual machine in view of power state information associated with the physical device of the computing device, wherein the power state information is received from one or more other virtual machines of the computing device.
