متن کاملProviding Performance Guarantees to Virtual Machines Using Real-Time Scheduling
In this paper we tackle the problem of providing Quality of Service guarantees to virtualized applications, focusing on computing and networking guarantees. We propose a mechanism for providing temporal isolation based on a CPU real time scheduling strategy. This allows not only to have control over the individual virtual machine throughput, but also on the activation latency and response-time ...
متن کاملevaluated by providing a controlled environment for measuring network performance
| The availability of low-cost hardware is enabling the development of wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs), i.e., networks of resource-constrained wireless devices that can retrieve multimedia content such as video and audio streams, still images, and scalar sensor data from the environment. In this paper, ongoing research on prototypes of multimedia sensors and their integration into t...
