The computer programs that sustain the games are distributed across the network, set up on host machines in thousands of different places.

In most contests, the judging is done automatically by host machines, commonly known as judges.

A computer on which a hypervisor is running one or more virtual machines is defined as a host machine.

These systems would retain a physically secure "root console" for system administration and direct access to the host machine.

This program is a single executable file on the host machine.

This slowdown is worst when running on host machines with deep execution pipelines, such as current x86 chips.

My shared networking wasn't working even though the host machine's Airport connection was fine.

The advantage to this design was that there was no "host" machine.

Applications must be modified for the U3 platform not to leave any data on the host machine.

Now you can drag files to and from the VM to the host machine!
