Abstract

A virtual machine monitor, a virtual machine system and a clock distribution method thereof. The clock distribution method includes: distributing real clock resource to a Guest Operation System (GOS), and saving correspondence between said GOS and said real clock resource; intercepting an access operation of said GOS to a virtual clock resource; sending said access operation to the corresponding real clock resource according to said correspondence, and then performing a write operation, or injecting an interrupt of said real clock resource into a local Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controllers (APIC) of a virtual CPU of the corresponding GOS of said GOSs.
