Design and Implementation of Linux Server Virtual Machine Using Hybrid Virtualization Technology
[attachment=30526]
Abstract:-
The virtualization technology has been developed rapidly with the growth of the hardware supported virtualization technologies and the appearance of the various services. Many researchers are concentrating on developing the virtualization technologies which are recognized as the most significant core technology of the IT applications such as green IT and cloud computing. The major processor companies have introduced various hardware supported virtualization technologies for overcoming the limitations of the software virtualization technologies. Until now, however, the hardware supported virtualization technologies are used only for supporting the full-virtualization technologies. In this paper, we introduced our efficient server virtual machine, which merged the hardware supported virtualization technologies with conventional para-virtualization technologies. Through our proposed hybrid virtualization technology, we could reduce the complexity and overhead of traditional server virtual machines. And lastly, we evaluated and compared our proposed virtual machine with traditional server virtual machines through the experiments.
Network virtualization: a hypervisor for the Internet?
Network virtualization is a relatively new research topic. A number of articles propose that certain benefits can be realized by virtualizing links between network elements as well as adding virtualization on intermediate network elements. In this article we argue that network virtualization may bring nothing new in terms of technical capabilities and theoretical performance, but it provides a way of organizing networks such that it is possible to overcome some of the practical issues in today¿s Internet. We strengthen our case by an analogy between the concept of network virtualization as it is currently presented in research, and machine virtualization as proven useful in deployments in recent years. First we make an analogy between the functionality of an operating system and that of a network, and identify similar concepts and elements. Then we emphasize the practical benefits realized by machine virtualization, and we exploit the analogy to derive potential benefits brought by network virtualization. We map the established applications for machine virtualization to network virtualization, thus identifying possible use cases for network virtualization. We also use this analogy to structure the design space for network virtualization.
Compilation and virtualization in the HiPEAC vision
This paper describes the HiPEAC vision of embedded virtualization as it has developed during two years of discussion among the members of the HiPEAC cluster on binary translation and virtualization. We start from system virtualization and process virtualization and we gradually develop a vision in which the two merge into one virtualization layer for embedded systems. Such a unified virtualization offers solutions for consolidation, performance optimization, software engineering and dealing with legacy hardware components. Four adoption requirements are identified: support for real-time execution, low performance overhead, virtualization of accelerator cores and finally trustworthiness. Finally, we define four research challenges: full virtualization of heterogeneous multi-core platforms, portable performance for heterogeneous multi-cores, virtual machine management interfaces, and standards for embedded virtualization.
