Abstract :
Virtual Machine Clusters tend to increase the amount of unused memory. We propose a remote swap management framework in a VM cluster which configures a remote swap dynamically to running VMs according to memory usage. We explain the functional requirements and the design of the framework, and demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework using prototype implementation.
