Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for sharing information between guests in a virtual machine environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes virtual machine control logic, an execution unit, and a memory management unit. The virtual machine control logic is to transfer control of the apparatus among a host and its guests. The execution unit is to execute an instruction to copy information from a virtual memory address in one guest's virtual address space to a virtual memory address in another guest's virtual address space. The memory management unit is to translate the virtual memory addresses to physical memory addresses.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for exposing system topology to an execution environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes execution cores and resources on a single integrated circuit, and topology logic. The topology logic is to populate a data structure with information regarding a relationship between the execution cores and the resources.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a protocol control block is speculatively pre-fetched from an external memory unit.

Abstract: A first machine communicates with a second machine, using a protocol that sends the first machine's network configuration data in application data sent to the second machine, through a translating access point which translates network traffic from the first machine so as to originate from the access point. A network configuration server provides to the first machine network configuration data not subject to translation by the access point, which is sent to the second machine in the application data. The second machine communicates with the provided network configuration, and this communication is in turn made available to the first machine.
