ABSTRACT
Modern system design often employs virtualization to decouple the system service model from its physical realization. Two common examples are the virtualization of computing resources through the use of virtual machines and the virtualization of disks by presenting logical volumes as the storage interface. The insertion of these abstraction layers allows operators great flexibility to achieve operational goals divorced from the underlying physical infrastructure. Today, workloads can be instantiated dynamically, expanded at runtime, migrated between physical servers (or geographic locations), and suspended if needed. Both computation and data can be replicated in real time across multiple physical hosts for purposes of high-availability within a single site, or disaster recovery across multiple sites.

A Case for Virtualizing Persistent Memory
SoCC '16: Proceedings of the Seventh ACM Symposium on Cloud ComputingWith the proliferation of software and hardware support for persistent memory (PM) like PCM and NV-DIMM, we envision that PM will soon become a standard component of commodity cloud, especially for those applications demanding high performance and low ...
Virtualizing embedded systems: why bother?
DAC '11: Proceedings of the 48th Design Automation ConferencePlatform virtualization, which supports the co-existence of multiple operating-system environments on a single physical platform, is now commonplace in server computing, as it can provide similar isolation as separate physical servers, but with improved ...
Virtualizing HPC applications using modern hypervisors
FederatedClouds '12: Proceedings of the 2012 workshop on Cloud services, federation, and the 8th open cirrus summitIn this paper we explore the prospects of virtualization technologies being applied to high performance computing tasks. We use an extensive set of HPC benchmarks to evaluate virtualization overhead, including HPC Challenge, NAS Parallel Benchmarks and ...
