Updated Hypervisor Top Level Functional Specification
We have recently published a new version of the Hypervisor Top Level Functional Specification for Windows Server 2012 R2 / Windows 8.1. You can grab a copy here:
http://ift.tt/1gNSkJf Top Level Functional Specification v4.0.docx
Now, when you first open this document and start looking through it – you are probably going to think to yourself “Good grief! This is much too detailed for me!”. And yes, it is a very technical document. It is essentially a guide to how to build your own virtualization solution on our hypervisor. That said, a couple of times a year I direct people to read this document so they can get answers to questions such as:
- Can I discover the hypervisor version from inside the virtual machine?
- How are virtual processors actually scheduled by the hypervisor?
- How does the hypervisor handle machine check events?
There is a lot of good information in there – so I would recommend taking the time to read it through.
Cheers,
Ben

CES2014: ORIGIN PC Announces Amazing Customizable PC Case
ORIGIN PC is known for their awesome high-performance PCs. Today, ORIGIN PC has announced two amazing new case designs that will serve as the backbone of their MILLENIUM (mid-tower) and GENESIS (full-tower) PCs. What makes these new cases newsworthy is the combination of striking industrial design, customizability, and extensibility. I had the opportunity to see these new PCs just before CES 2014 started when CEO Kevin Wasielewski gave me a private tour of this new lineup of ORIGIN PCs. I left wanting one!

ORIGIN PC has taken a different approach with the design of this new PC case system. The only difference between the MILLENIUM and GENESIS PCs is the expansion base which can accommodate additional radiators for liquid cooling, or extra drives (up to 12 3.5” drives or 24 2.5” drives). It’s easiest to see the difference when you look at the MILLENIUM and GENESIS cases side-by-side:

If you own a MILLENIUM PC, you can always upgrade your PC to become a GENESIS by ordering the full-tower expansion kit. Here’s what the expansion base looks like setup for cooling:

And here’s what the expansion base looks like setup for storage:

Here is a summary the unique and notable features included in the MILLENIUM and GENESIS cases:
- Variable Mounting system enables motherboard to be oriented four different ways so that you can optimize the placement and visibility of your PC’s internal components
- 4-Way NVIDIA SLI support in any orientation (using Variable Mounting)
- Dual-Hinge front door enables left-to-right or right-to-left opening directions
- 5 hot-swappable hard drive bays with optional locking mechanism
- Full-tower expansion kit enables MILLENIUM case to be converted to GENESIS case
- Smart Fan Controller allows you to easily toggle between full manual control of fans and motherboard fan control
- Remote controlled LED lighting system
