Toy Hypervisor + Toy RTOS

Simulates a hypervisor and a real-time OS (RTOS) in user-space. Designed for learning — not a real hypervisor.

Features

• Toy hypervisor that manages multiple partitions (guests) and dynamically assigns CPU quotas.
• Toy RTOS that runs inside each partition: simple preemptive scheduler (rate-monotonic style).
• Inter-partition message passing via a hypervisor-provided channel.
• Demonstrates concepts: partitioning, scheduling, memory quotas, context switching (simulated), and simple verification hooks.

Requirements

• Ubuntu (x86_64) laptop.
• g++ (supporting C++17), make, python3 (for packaging).
• No root required — runs entirely in user-space.

Build & Run

# build
make

# run
./bin/toy_hv_rt

Structure

• src/ - C++ source code (hypervisor, rtos, demo).
• Makefile - build rules.
• test/ - simple input scenarios (not needed to run).

Notes

This repo is intentionally small and well-documented. Use it to:

• Talk through OS/hypervisor.
• Modify schedulers, memory policies, and verification (e.g., simple assertions).
