Hypervisor
Also supports ARM architectures
Lynx Software Technologies has released version 6.0 of its hypervisor Lynxsecure, which can now also be used in multicore systems based on ARM designs for the first time. Specifically: Lynxsecure 6.0 supports the Armv8-A architectures in addition to Intel-x86.
Armv8-A's 64-bit architecture support allows both 32- and 64-bit guest operating systems to run virtualized without modification. According to the manufacturer, the Arms hypervisor fully supports multicore SoCs through 'core-to-guest OS affinity' and also offers support for multicore guest operating systems as well as shared core usage across different guest operating systems. This enables developers to take full advantage of the benefits of multi-core systems. Lynxsecure leverages the MMU, SMMU and virtualization capabilities of the Arm Cortex-A processor to completely isolate operating systems and applications, allowing access only to associated objects. This type of isolation ensures security for the next generation of networked devices by separating the 'networked' domain from other critical computing domains and protecting the system from IT-generated threats.
