Two-Stage Performance Engineering of Container-based Virtualization

Hypervisor- vs. Container-based Virtualization

For a long time, the term virtualization implied talking about hypervisor-based virtualization. However, in the past few years container-based virtualization got mature and especially Docker gained a lot of attention. Hypervisor-based virtualization provides strong isolation of a complete operating system whereas container-based virtualization strives to isolate processes from other processes a...

Container-Based Virtualization for Byte-Addressable NVM

Container based virtualization is rapidly growing in popularity for cloud deployments and applications as a virtualization alternative due to the ease of deployment and high-performance. Emerging byte-addressable, non-volatile memories, commonly called Storage Class Memory or SCM, technologies are promising both byteaddressability and persistence near DRAM speeds operating on the main memory bu...

Performance Evaluation of Container-based Virtualization for High Performance Computing Environments

Virtualization technologies have evolved along with the development of computational environments since virtualization offered needed features at that time such as isolation, accountability, resource allocation, resource fair sharing and so on. Novel processor technologies bring to commodity computers the possibility to emulate diverse environments where a wide range of computational scenarios ...

Container and Kernel-Based Virtual Machine (KVM) Virtualization for Network Function Virtualization (NFV) White Paper

Two-stage column generation and applications in container terminal management

Seaport container terminals are source of many interesting large-scale optimization problems, which arise in the management of operations at several decision levels. In this paper we firstly illustrate a recently proposed framework, called two-stage column generation (Salani and Vacca, 2008), which is suitable for a particular class of large-scale problems, where the structure of the original f...
