Evaluating the Effectiveness of Memory Overcommit Techniques on KVM-based Hosting Platform
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Determining how many virtual machines a Linux host could run can be a challenge. One of tough missions is to find the balance among performance, density and usability. Now KVM hypervisor has become the most popular open source full virtualization solution. It supports several ways of running guests with more memory than host really has. Due to large differences between minimum and maximum guest memory requirements, this paper presents initial results on same-page merging, ballooning and live migration techniques that aims at optimum memory usage on KVM-based cloud platform. Given the design of initial experiments, the results data is worth reference for system administrators. The results from these experiments concluded that each method offers different reliability tradeoff. Keywords—Kernel-based Virtual Machine, Overcommit, Virtualization.

Low-Latency Caching for Cloud-Based Web Applications
Many Web applications are now hosted in elastic cloud environments where the unit of resource allocation is a virtual machine (VM) instance; entire VMs are added or removed to scale up or scale down. A variety of techniques can reduce the latency of communication between VMs co-located on the same server in, say, a private cloud. For example, paravirtualized network mechanisms (e.g., vhost and ...
متن کاملInSight: A Framework for Application Diagnosis using Virtual Machine Record and Replay
Non-deterministic execution poses several challenges toward diagnosis—debugging, profiling and execution state mining, of software systems (user-level applications and operating systems). While several techniques using modified libraries, library wrappers, binary instrumentation and memory shadowing techniques exist, we aim to exploit the record and replay technique enabled by virtualization to...
متن کاملGinkgo: Automated, Application-Driven Memory Overcommitment for Cloud Computing
Continuous advances in multicore and I/O technologies have caused memory to become a very valuable sharable resource that limits the number of virtual machines (VMs) that can be hosted in a single physical server. While today’s hypervisors implement a wide range of mechanisms to overcommit memory, they lack memory allocation policies and frameworks capable of guaranteeing levels of quality of s...
متن کاملThe effect of Crocin on scopolamine induced spatial learning and memory deficits in rats
Introduction: The cholinergic system plays an important role in learning and memory. Administration of either extracts of Crocus Sativus (Saffron) or its constituent, crocin, reduced ethanol-induced memory impairment. Based on the above findings, we investigated the effect of crocin in antagonizing spatial learning and memory impairment induced by scopolamine, a cholinergic receptor antagoni...
متن کاملCaffeine improved spatial learning and memory deficit in sleep deprived female rat
Previous studies have shown that caffeine has beneficial effects on cognitive impairment in sleep deprived male rats. Therefore in the present study, we examined the effects of chronic caffeine administration on learning and memory impairments induced by sleep deprivation (SD) in the intact and ovarectomized (OVX) female rats. Two sets of animals including intact and OVX were randomly recruited...
