Abstract
In common sense, virtualization technology is adopted to offer several isolated execution environments and makes better use of computational resources which has been an important enabler for cloud computing. However, in embedded systems, the significance of virtualization does not come into the picture. The extensive utilization of mobile smart devices has led to a series of issues such as security, power consumption and performance limitation. Mobile virtualization can offer an effective approach in addressing these challenges. In this paper, we discuss how mobile virtualization addresses these challenges and then present a detail analysis of mainstream mobile virtualization solutions: Para-virtualization , Hardware-Assisted Full virtualization and Microkernel Hypervisor. At last, we carry out a series of performance comparison between these solutions and make some suggestions for further research.
This research is funded by National Science and Technology Major Project of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China under grant NO. 2013ZX03003010-002.
