Abstract:
1. A method for forming a pool of resources for hosting one or more virtual machines, the method comprising: launching, on a first device having a first set of resources, a virtual machine (VM) core logic; determining, by said VM core logic, one or more predefined peer member devices, wherein each peer member device has an independent set of resources; and communicatively coupling, by said VM core logic, with VM core logics of said one or more predefined peer member devices and exchanging information with said VM core logics of said one or more predefined peer member devices that identifies each device's respective said independent set of resources for self-assembling resources of said first set of resources and resources of said independent sets of resources into a pool of resources for hosting one or more virtual machines according to a predefined virtual resource profile, said profile accessible by each VM core logic, wherein each VM core logic is implemented in or is launched by a BIOS of each of the devices independent of a VM monitor (VMM).
