Hello
My name is Nicholas Nevin. I've come to the realisation that it's high time I jumped into the Blogosphere, so here goes.
I have been working at Sun for 10 years or so now. When I started, I worked in the High Performance Computing group on the Sun Message Passing Interface library. Many projects later I now find myself working on Logical Domains (LDoms) which is the virtualization technology for Sun's CoolThreads servers based on the UltraSPARC-T1 processor.
I work primarily on the Logical Domain Manager, a user-land software component which configures, controls and monitors the Logical Domains running on a server. On the odd occasion I also venture to do some work on LDoms related parts of the system firmware stack.
In this blog I hope to share my experiences with and thoughts on Sun's virtualization technologies, and on virtualization in general.
Bye for now, Nick.
