Modern processor hardware virtualization capabilities allow for organizing a virtual environment to run on the same processor architecture guest operating system code without modifications right on central processing unit. However, incompatible architecture guest operating code cannot be launched as is under existing hardware assisted virtualization software. Accordingly, there are provided systems and methods employing hardware assisted binary translation within virtualized environments to support these requirements of incompatible architecture guest operating code by isolating the guest operating system architecture offering enhanced execution.

Disclosed are systems and methods for debugging program code using a computing system. The disclosed method includes designating a control point in a software application subject to a debugging procedure, and then executing the program code for the software application as a guest application executing within a virtual machine. Upon detection of a virtualization event, the hardware processor transfers program control to a hypervisor which then determines whether the virtualization event corresponds to the designated control point based on an execution state of the guest application. If so, the virtualization event handler may generate a debugging event that is used by a debugger.

Systems and methods for embedding remote applications into HyperText Markup Language (HTML) pages. An example method comprises: identifying, within a HTML page rendered by a browser, a frame referencing a remote application; determining at least one of: a size of a window for rendering output of the remote application on a virtual desktop produced by a virtual execution environment running the remote application or a position of the window on the virtual desktop; causing a remote access session to be established with the virtual execution environment; transmitting a first message specifying at least one of: the size of the window on the virtual desktop or the position of the window on the virtual desktop; and causing the frame to be displayed within the HTML page by the browser for rendering output of the remote application.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for remote application sharing. An exemplary method comprises detecting a user establishing a connection with a remote application server, authenticating the user based on login information associated with the user, determining that the user has requested execution of a shared application hosted on the remote application server, responsive to determining that the user has requested execution of the shared application, gathering information for accessing the shared application hosted on the remote application server, establishing a user session for executing the shared application, generating an application link comprising the information for accessing the shared application over the user session and publishing the application link for distribution to one or more third party users, wherein activation of the application link by the one or more third party users shares the user session with the one or more third party users.

The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method that includes establishing, by a host server running an application, a connection to a client device; obtaining, based on an identifier of the client device, a profile of the client device comprising an identifier of a local device that was associated with the client device during a prior connection of the client device to the host server; and causing, based on the identifier of the local device, a driver for the local device to be available for execution on the host server, wherein the driver for the local device is to convert data between a data format accessible to the application and a data format accessible to the local device.

The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method that includes storing first client information identifying a first client device, identifying a location of the first client device, and identifying a first remote access session that provides the first client device access to resources of the remote access system. The method further includes receiving access information identifying an access device and a user account associated with the first client information. The access information indicates that the user account has been successfully authenticated by the access device. The method further includes, in response to the receipt of the access information, causing the first client device to connect to the first remote access session with the remote access system as a background process of the client device while a user interface of the client device remains locked.

Virtualization exploits virtual rather than actual elements such as computer hardware platforms, storage devices, and computer network resources for example. However, prior art techniques have limitations including, for example, memory requirements and resource requirements which typically either limit their deployment to remote server based systems or limit the number of concurrent virtual machines a system can support. Embodiments of the invention address these limitations by supporting application virtualization on foreign operating systems with reduced resource usage by removing the requirement for virtualization of the entire foreign operating system. The inventive virtualization provides creation of an isolated memory space with isolated code execution using hardware assistance.

With multiple software applications, multiple electronic devices for a user to access and work upon, and multiple potential storage locations for the files it is difficult for a user to remember the identity of a file worked upon, its storage location, or which application they employed. Whilst some applications provide a user with a listing of recently opened files these are only those accessed by that specific application upon a specific device. Embodiments of the invention provide users with a synthesized centralized view of all files accessed irrespective of where the user has stored the electronic content, with which electronic device the electronic content was accessed with, or with which software application the electronic content was accessed with.

Systems and methods for processing virtual machine V/O requests by virtualization extension modules. An example method comprises receiving, by a virtual machine monitor (VMM) running on a host computer system, a request initiated by a virtual machine managed by the VMM; processing the request by a VMM extension module identified by one or more parameters of the request; invoking, by the VMM extension module, an application programming interface (API) exported by the VMM to perform an action identified by the request; and resuming execution of the virtual machine.
