Analysis of virtualization implementation for the simulation of a multiple-particle-swarms model for expansion of the Coffee Berry Borer

In this paper the performance and time simulation of a model of multiple swarms of particles is analyzed, comparing their results on a physical machine versus a virtual machine. For experiments they were executed several cases taking the time for each simulation (each scenario was executed 50 times). The implementation of this virtualization allowed significantly reduce the execution time of the experiments, minimizing the time of data collection between the settings required for the algorithm. Since the results were satisfactory, the work corroborated the benefits of virtualization in the execution of this type of models with a large amount of calculations and a graphical component.
