Hei all!.

I was reading about paravirtualization outperforming hardware enabled virtualization, and virtual iron's posts about paravirtualization as a dead end.

Regarding performance and reliability, is paravirtualization still better solutions than HW assisted virtualization?

Would HW reach a point where paravirtualization won't longer be necessary?


What are your thoughts about this?

Thanks !

MRB
