Thank you. When you instantiate a zerovm instance you give it the associated code as well? And which IPC method can it use? Is zerovm the library you use, is there such a thing as a separate zerovm instance, or is it just the way we are used to talking about virtualization?

You give it an x86 (or ARM) binary to execute. NaCL is also working on an LLVM version, that would get compiled to the specific machine at runtime. IPC is super limited: https://github.com/zerovm/zerovm/blob/master/doc/api.txt https://github.com/zerovm/zerovm/blob/master/doc/api.txt You get nothing but /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout, and /dev/stderr by default. You can optionally make other resources (network, files) available, through a similar api.
