Hi,
You can Look at diagrams 5 and 6 and the corresponding sections in:

"High-Performance Hypervisor Architectures: Virtualization in HPC
Systems" paper

>From the 1st Workshop on System-level Virtualization for High
Performance Computing
(HPCVirt 2007)
held in conjunction with EuroSys 2007,

see : http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/hpcvirt07/papers/paper10.pdf
