Hardware Assisted Resource Sharing Platform for Personal Cloud

More and more novel usage models require the capability of resource sharing among different platforms. To achieve a satisfactory efficiency, the authors introduce a specific resource sharing technology under which IO peripherals can be shared among different platforms. In particular, in a personal working environment that is built up by a number of devices, IO peripherals at each device can be applied to support application running at another device. This IO sharing is their so-called composable IO because it is equivalent to compose IOs from different devices for an application.
