NVMM(4)                 NetBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual                NVMM(4)


NAME

     nvmm -- NetBSD Virtual Machine Monitor


DESCRIPTION

     The nvmm driver provides kernel support for hardware-accelerated virtual-
     ization.  It is made of a generic MI frontend, to which MD backends can
     be plugged to implement the core virtualization.

     In practice, nvmm is used by the libnvmm(3) API to implement hypervisors.


SUPPORT

     The following backends are supported:
           -   x86-SVM, for x86 AMD CPUs
           -   x86-VMX, for x86 Intel CPUs


SEE ALSO

     libnvmm(3), nvmmctl(8)


AUTHORS

     The nvmm driver was written by Maxime Villard.
