Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for a frontend driver that notifies a hypervisor of a map request from a guest driver of a device, wherein the device is passed through to and directly controlled by a virtual machine, and wherein the map request is associated with an attempt of the device to access a guest memory page in a virtualized execution environment. The frontend driver may also determine whether the guest memory page is pinned and send a map hypercall to the hypervisor if the guest memory page is not pinned. Additionally, the hypervisor may determine that the guest memory page is pinned, determine, based on a direct memory access (DMA) bitmap, that an unmap request from the guest driver has been issued, and unpin the guest memory page.

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that sets a write protection flag in a guest command buffer associated with a virtual machine and injects a semaphore command into a shadow command buffer in response to a fault. The fault is to correspond to a write of a graphics command to the guest command buffer by code executing in graphics hardware. In one example, the technology also conducts a security scan of the graphics command in response to a context switch in the graphics hardware, wherein the context switch is to be associated with the semaphore command.

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus of monocrystal growth. The method comprises providing an apparatus comprising a crucible, a first lifting device for lifting the crucible, a deflector tube and a second lifting device for lifting the deflector tube; setting a theoretical distance between the deflector tube and the melt surface, determining a theoretical ratio of the crucible lifting rate relative to the monocrystal lifting rate based on sizes of the crucible and the monocrystal, and starting to grow the monocrystal. During the growth, the position of one or more of the crucible, the deflector tube and the monocrystal is adjusted, the actual distance between the deflector tube and the melt surface is real-time detected, the deviation value between the theoretical and the actual distances is calculated, a variation of the ratio is obtained by the deviation value, and the theoretical ratio is adjusted based on the variation. Based on the variation of the ratio of the crucible lifting rate relative to the monocrystal lifting rate, the speeds of the lifting devices are adjusted to maintain the process lifting rate during the crystal growth without change. The process lifting rate is the lifting rate of the monocrystal ingot relative to the melt surface. The present invention can facilitate to produce the monocrystal with high quality.
