  • Publication number: 20240345857
    Abstract: A first hypervisor running on a first processor cluster is provided. During operation, the first hypervisor can determine a first set of processing nodes and a first memory unit of the first processor cluster in response to the booting up of a first Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of the first processor cluster. The first hypervisor can discover a second hypervisor running on a second processor cluster comprising a second set of processing nodes and a second memory unit. The first hypervisor can operate, with the second hypervisor, a distributed system comprising the first and second sets of processing nodes and the first and second memory units. The first hypervisor can then operate, with the second hypervisor, a global virtual machine on the distributed system. The virtual memory space of the global virtual machine can be mapped to respective memory spaces of the first and second processor clusters.
