Virtualization overhead is the main reason for the slow diffusion of virtualization techniques into high-performance computing environments. This paper discusses the issues linked to the performance evaluation of virtual clusters, and presents the implementation of a service that automates the benchmarking and results collection procedure in an existing cloud-on-GRID environment.
The Scientific Bytecode Virtual Machine is a virtual machine designed specifically for performance, security, and portability of scientific applications deployed in a Grid environment. The performance overhead normally incurred by virtual machines is mitigated using native optimized scientific libraries, security is obtained by sandboxing techniques. Lastly, by executing platform-independent bytecodes,...
Cloud Computing and virtualization technology are taking the momentum nowadays in data centres, research institutions and IT infrastructure models. Having a reference and performance benchmarks for the dynamic workloads in virtualized and cloud environments is a vital thing to develop. Virtualized workload benchmark will help data center's architects and administrators to design an elegant data center's...
