Smart Card Virtual Machine Control to Reduce Physical Resource Waste
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virtual machine technologies result in significant resource waste due to the need to reserve a large proportion of physical machine resources for virtualization overhead, leading to inefficient utilization.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a smart card to generate and send control operation instructions to a physical machine's virtualization control program, reducing the overhead by offloading control processes and providing backend resources, thereby optimizing resource use.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If virtual machine control processes are handled by the physical machine, then the virtualization control program can directly manage virtual machines, but the physical machine resources are significantly wasted due to virtualization overhead
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the virtual machine control process from the physical machine and relocates it to a smart card. The smart card contains a virtual machine management program that independently handles control operations, while the physical machine's virtualization control program only needs to execute instructions from the smart card. This separation removes the resource-intensive control functions from the physical machine, reducing virtualization overhead and improving resource utilization.
2Loss of energy
If control processes are transplanted to smart card, then virtualization overhead is reduced and resource use is optimized, but the device complexity increases due to additional smart card system components
Solution Approach 1:
The smart card serves as an intermediary device between the user/control system and the physical machine. It contains the virtual machine management program that generates control instructions, which are then sent to the physical machine's virtualization control program. This intermediary approach allows the control logic to be separated from the resource-intensive execution environment, reducing overhead while maintaining a relatively simple overall system architecture through standardized communication protocols.

AI summary
Provided is a method for controlling a virtual machine, an electronic device and a storage medium, relating to the field of computer technology, and in particular to application fields of cloud service, cloud computing and big data processing. The method includes: obtaining a virtual machine control request; generating a control operation instruction for a target virtual machine based on the virtual machine control request by using a computing node service deployed on the smart card; and sending the control operation instruction to a virtualization control program deployed on the physical machine; where the virtualization control program is used to perform a control operation on the target virtual machine based on the control operation instruction.
