Virtual machine migration (VMM) is one of important services is used as a tool to facilitate system maintenance, load balancing, fault tolerance, on-demand service offerings. Live VMM transfers an active Virtual Machine (VM) from one physical host to another across different data centres. It involves a sequence of operations in iteration under a specific protocol/method for migrating execution ...

Multicore architectures are employed more and more in todays system. A main task of current operating systems is to equalize the load of each CPU’s core, it is accomplished by the migration policy of an operating system. Nevertheless, the migration policy of an operating system is mostly entangled in the kernel. Thus, migration policies of guest kernels running within virtual machines may contr...

System level virtualization provides several advantages: (i) customization is eased since virtual machines may be based on different systems; (ii) virtual machines are isolated from hardware, subsequently applications are isolated via the virtual machines; (iii) basic fault tolerance mechanisms – pro-active fault tolerance through virtual machine migration and virtual machine snapshot/restore; ...

This paper takes a tour of Virtual Machine Migration systems across physical servers in datacenter which includes it’s architecture, basic working, migration strategies, design issues and goals. Despite of various on-going research for more than two decade in this field, variations in migrations procedures, context, environment and needs is still a major challenge faced by it. Keywords— Virtual...

In traditional data center numbers of services are run onto the dedicated physical servers. Most of the time, these data centers are not used their full capacity in term of resources. Virtualization allows the movement of VM from one host to the another host ,which is called virtual machine migration, so these data centers can consolidate their services onto lesser number of physical servers th...

The Physical servers used in IT are under-utilized. The better utilization of these servers can be achieved using virtualization technology. Virtualization techniques create multiple partitions which are isolated with each other called virtual machines. Each virtual machine (guest) runs their own operating system. The resource allocated for these VMs may fail to execute an application because o...

of thesis entitled “Distributed Java Virtual Machine with Thread Migration” submitted by Wenzhang Zhu for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in August 2004 Recent advances in better Java class libraries and Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation techniques have greatly improved the performance of Java to match that of C/C++. To fully exploit Java’s multithreading feature ...

Load balance mechanism does the vital role in high performance computing (HPC) and energy efficient computing (EEC). An effective load balance mechanism achieves high performance resource management. Several load management platform (e.g. Openstack, Nebula and Eucaluptus) available to simulate/perform status of algorithm. Load balance manager should be able to customize the resource management ...

Vehicular ad-hoc networks have gained a significant attention during the last decades from the industry and academia with the goals of increasing road safety and traffic management among others. However, vehicles are normally constrained by resources, including computation, storage, and radio spectrum bandwidth. Many emerging applications demand complex computation and large storage, including ...

Nowadays, there are lots of problems in Cloud data center such as high energy consumption and low efficiency. We model a cloud environment with physical hosts and virtual machines, and design an Energy-Aware Virtual Machine Scheduling strategy (EAVMS) to reduce energy consumption and improve utilization rate by integrating system resource such as computing, storage and bandwidth resources. Expe...
