AMD says its virtualisation is good to go
Pacifica pond


CHIP FIRM Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) said its IO virtualisation tech spec is now available through royalty free licences.


It said it wants to encourage its adoption by hardware and software developers built into a PC's IO bridges.

The firm has struck up alliances with VMware, Xensource and Microsoft to allow virtualisation to work on peoples' machines.

Formerly codenamed Pacifica, AMD claims that it will be implemented in both core logic and chipsets for its 64-bit microprocessors this year. Pacifica provides ways to use virtualisation for managing and partitioning IO devices.
