FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: in a virtual machine, a partition bus connects partitions on the fly, which enables it to function as a data transfer mechanism which enables data transfer and sharing devices between partitions. The partition bus is based on virtualisation software for its installation and for installing communication channels between partitions and for input of interruptions into the partitions. Also the partition bus uses such mechanisms as circular buffers, pages for transferring and changing data transfer memory cards (requests and data) and uses decision making agents to decide when data must be transferred and when the devices must share partitions. The method describes different mechanisms for ensuring smooth integration between partitions.
EFFECT: broader functional capabilities due to sharing devices and transferring data between different partitions in a virtual machine medium.
