English term

if their system changes, however irresponsible, didn’t stick

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) virtualisation
The first step taken by both chipmakers was to equip their CPUs with the capability to intercept and redirect requests to alter the system’s state. In the one machine/one OS model, the operating system is trusted to alter, unchecked, the state of the CPU, chip set, and peripherals. That’s an obvious barrier to efficient virtualization; guest OS instances would crash if their system changes, however irresponsible, didn’t stick. Keeping up the charade of a one-owner system is the expensive part of virtualization.
这两家芯片生产商采取的第一步都是为各自的CPU配置了这一功能:截取及重定向改变系统状态的请求。在一台机器、一个操作系统的模式下,操作系统有权在未经检查的情况下改变CPU、芯片组及外围设备的状态。这对高效率的虚拟化而言显然是个障碍。XXX,客户操作系统实例就会崩溃。确保单机主系统是虚拟化机制当中开销很大的一部分。

"Changes" is a noun here, as in "the changes did not stick".

不被保留也就等于不生效、不起作用, i.e., the changes it wants to make doesn't take effect, which would defintely cause the system to crash.
wherestip Jul 10, 2006:
BTW, keep in mind it's "system" changes such as configurations
wherestip Jul 10, 2006:
stick means 保留. Because it is a guest copy of the OS, the changes the guest machine makes doesn't reflect back to the host and is not saved(it doesn't stick). This was one of the problems the hardware approach to virtualization needed to address

此处的stick作何解释?

如果客户所作的系统变化不被持续保留,尽管所作变化可能是不负责任的,客户操作系统实例就会崩溃失败

The Chinese I gave you is pretty wordy, but that's basically what it means. You can reword it to suit your translation text.

这个系统设计并不可行,所以必须放弃。

...sounds like the original English is some poor translation from another language. MAYBE it should read..."...if their system changes. This was a poor design so it was disgarded."
