MOTIVATION

• Virtualization is being used heavily in Cloud
  Computing.

EVALUATION APPROACH

• Intel Xeon E5405
• 2 processors
• 4 cores
• RAM size/ 8,000 (MB)
• Clock speed/ 2,000 (MHz)
• L2 catch size 12MB
• 1,333MHz FSB Frequency
• Linux
• Xen

CONCLUSION

• Virtualization becomes a bottleneck when
• multiple VMs communicate.
• Our evaluation clearly indicates that
  virtualization overheads have significant impact
  on scalability under VM-VM interactions based
  workloads.
• These solutions include XenSocket and XenWay .
• The cost of VM migration and parallelized
• execution of coarse-grained tasks on
  different
• VMs
