Full virtualizationIn computer science, full virtualization (fv) employs techniques used to create instances of an environment, as opposed to simulation, which models the environment; or emulation, which replicates the target environment such as certain kinds of virtual machine environments. Full virtualization requires that every salient feature of the hardware be reflected into one of several virtual machines – including the full instruction set, input/output operations, interrupts, memory access, and whatever other elements are used by the software that runs on the bare machine, and that is intended to run in a virtual machine.
Popek and Goldberg virtualization requirementsThe Popek and Goldberg virtualization requirements are a set of conditions sufficient for a computer architecture to support system virtualization efficiently. They were introduced by Gerald J. Popek and Robert P. Goldberg in their 1974 article "Formal Requirements for Virtualizable Third Generation Architectures". Even though the requirements are derived under simplifying assumptions, they still represent a convenient way of determining whether a computer architecture supports efficient virtualization and provide guidelines for the design of virtualized computer architectures.
FreeDOSFreeDOS est un système d'exploitation libre compatible avec MS-DOS et les autres systèmes DOS. Il est possible d'installer le système sur une disquette. FreeDOS d'abord appelé « PD-DOS » puis « Free-DOS ». Ce projet est lancé en 1994 par un étudiant habitué à utiliser MS-DOS, la même année, Microsoft annonce l'arrêt du support pour DOS, remplacé par une nouvelle version de Microsoft Windows. Sous DOS, le programme est fait à partir de la ligne de commande, les spécialistes de ce système pouvant accomplir des tâches.
