Multi-os heterogeneous virtual machine

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor of a host device cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• operating a virtual machine (VM) on a virtual machine manager (VMM) running on the host device;
• executing, within the VM, a first operating system (OS) running a client application and a second OS running a network protocol stack;
• receiving, by the first OS, a transaction command from the client application, wherein the transaction command is associated with a remote memory access;
• converting, by the first OS, the transaction command to one or more network packets;
• providing, by the first OS, a description of the one or more network packets to the second OS via a shared guest physical memory of the VM;
• and
• sending, by the host device, the one or more network packets to a corresponding destination based on the network protocol stack.

A computer system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory device;
• a set of ports;
• and
• a network interface controller (NIC);
• control circuitry comprising:
• a virtualization logic block is to run a virtual machine (VM) on the computer system;
• an operating system (OS) logic block is to execute, within the VM, a first OS running a client application and a second OS running a network protocol stack;
• and
• a transaction logic block is to:
• receive, at the first OS, a transaction command from the client application, wherein the transaction command is associated with a remote memory access;
• convert, at the first OS, the transaction command to one or more network packets;
• and
• provide, from the first OS, a description of the one or more network packets to the second OS via a shared guest physical memory of the VM;
• and
• wherein the NIC is to send the one or more network packets to a corresponding destination based on the network protocol stack.
