ASSIGNING DEVICES TO VIRTUAL MACHINES IN VIEW OF POWER STATE INFORMATION

In one implementation, a method of sharing a physical device between multiple virtual machines is provided. The method includes receiving, from a first virtual machine, a request to access a physical device of a computing device. The method also includes assigning, by a processing device, the physical device to the first virtual machine in view of power state information associated with the physical device of the computing device, wherein the power state information is received from one or more other virtual machines of the computing device.
