Abstract: Virtual computer systems (virtual machines) have become increasingly common with the evolution of virtualization technology, cloud computing, etc. However, as a virtual machine and its associated guest operating system seek to execute and/or access a page of memory through synchronous processes execution of the virtual processor associated with the virtual processing is blocked until the page of memory is locked and available. Accordingly, time is wasted on calls waiting for physical page availability thereby reducing utilization of the host machine and virtual machine respectively. To address this an asynchronous virtual machine environment is established allowing the virtual machine or physical machine to handle additional operations whilst waiting for physical page availability.
