Abstract
A method for providing access by a virtual context to a physical instance includes receiving a request to access a physical instance of a plurality of physical instances of a hardware resource of a device. The request is associated with a virtual machine of a plurality of virtual machines. The method next determines that one of the physical instances is available, and assigns a virtual context associated with the virtual machine to access the one of the physical instances when the one of the physical instances is available. The assigning comprises retrieving the virtual context from a memory of the device and loading the virtual context into the one of the physical instances. The method then stores the virtual context in the memory after the one of the physical instances is accessed by the virtual context.
