Re: [Xen-users] Difference between HVM and VTI



> can anybody tell me the difference or point me to sime doku?

HVM is an abstraction layer for both Intel's VT-x and AMD's SVM, so that 
common parts can be shared.

VT-I is Intel's virtualization support for Itanium.  HVM was developed for x86 
virtualization, because there's two implementations there that need to share 
code.  There may be some scope for sharing between HVM and VT-i but there's 
less in common because they're aimed at different platforms.

HTH,
