2. Hypervisor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor

   A hypervisor, also known as a virtual machine monitor (VMM) or virtualizer, is a type of computer software, firmware or hardware that creates and runs virtual machines.A computer on which a hypervisor runs one or more virtual machines is called a host machine, and each virtual machine is called a guest machine.

   The first widely available virtual machine architecture was the CP-67/CMS (see History of CP/CMS for details). An important distinction was between using multiple virtual machines on one host system for time-sharing, as in M44/44X and CP-40, and using one virtual machine on a host system for prototyping, as in SIMMON.

5. System virtual machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_virtual_machine

   A virtual machine is less efficient than an actual machine when it accesses the host hard drive indirectly. When multiple VMs are concurrently running on the hard drive of the actual host, adjunct virtual machines may exhibit a varying and/or unstable performance (speed of execution and malware protection).

6. Virtualization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization

   A virtual machine implements functionality of a (physical) computer with an operating system. The software or firmware that creates a virtual machine on the host hardware is called a hypervisor or virtual machine monitor. [2] Software executed on these virtual machines is separated from the underlying hardware resources.

7. Hardware virtualization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_virtualization

   The creation and management of virtual machines has also been called "platform virtualization", or "server virtualization", more recently. [2] [3] Platform virtualization is performed on a given hardware platform by host software (a control program), which creates a simulated computer environment, a virtual machine (VM), for its guest software ...
