"Three successive generations of Azul's Vega series systems relied on 
custom multi-core processors and a custom OS kernel to deliver both the 
scale and features needed to support Pauseless GC. In 2010, Azul 
released its first software-only commercial implementation of C4 for 
modern commodity X86 hardware, using Linux kernel enhancements to 
support the required feature set."

Virtualization features maybe, dunno.
