8.17 Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O

The chipset provides hardware support for implementation of Intel Virtualization Technology with
Directed I/O (Intel VT-d). Intel VT-d Technology consists of technology components that support the
virtualization of platforms based on Intel Architecture Processors. Intel VT-d Technology enables
multiple operating systems and applications to run in independent partitions. A partition behaves like
a virtual machine (VM) and provides isolation and protection across partitions. Each partition is
allocated its own subset of host physical memory.
