Virtualization and the POWER5 Architecture (O'Reilly)

[Posted November 29, 2006 by cook]

Ken Milberg discusses virtualization on the IBM POWER5 architecture in an O'Reilly article. "Unlike the other RISC-based hardware vendors (Sun and HP), IBM has fully implemented most of the features of its most powerful architecture into its Linux support. This is largely due to the recent developments of the Linux 2.6 kernel, which has brought Linux into the forefront. IBM added its own code to the SUSE and Red Hat kernels to provide support to the POWER5."
