  26. UNCvm Prologue Teaching Research Epilogue Store the context Virtual machine pros and cons On the plus side Hardware support (virtualization bit) Saves entire context Turbo Pascal 5.5 (1989) Shock code from 1990 still runs (with graphics!) On the loss side Large amount of data to store - the entire OS What guarantees that the VM emulator will still run in 20 years? What about hardware essential to code execution (multiple CPUs for MPI, GPUs) And yet ... Storage is cheap and always getting cheaper Current strong vendor support for VM emulators MPI, OpenMP, GPU CUDA are all supported
