Abstract
A client hosted virtualization system (CHVS) includes a processor to execute code, a component, and a non-volatile memory. The non volatile memory includes BIOS code and code to implement a virtualization manager. The virtualization manager is operable to initialize the CHVS, launch a virtual machine on the CHVS, and assign the component to the virtual machine, such that the virtual machine has control of the component. The CHVS is configurable to execute the BIOS and not the virtualization manager, or to execute the virtualization manager and not the BIOS.
