Recent IBM hardware has better (at least different) support for "hypervisors".
See "System/370 Extended Architecture:  Facilities for Virtual Machines" by
P.H. Gum, in IBM Journal of R&D Vol. 27, No. 6 (November 1983), pp. 530-544
for a discussion of hardware facilities for virtual machines (as well as
references related to other discussions of VM/CMS in this forum).

The opinions expressed are my own, not those of my employer.
