Abstract
An apparatus and method are described for efficient inter-virtual machine (VM) communication. For example, an apparatus comprises inter-VM communication logic to map a first specified set of device virtual memory addresses of a first VM to a first set of physical memory addresses in a shared system memory and to further map a second specified set of device virtual memory addresses of a second VM to the first set physical memory addresses in the shared system memory.
