Abstract :
Virtual CPU (VCPU) scheduling algorithms that efficiently manage processing-resource at the machine virtualization layer are key to facilitate resource sharing and workload consolidation in Clouds. Such algorithms are mostly inherited from pre-virtualization designs, thus need to be revamped and re-evaluated. This paper presents a simulation framework based on SAN model to rapidly evaluate Virtual CPU scheduling algorithms. The paper also demonstrates an evaluation of three VCPU scheduling algorithms using this framework.
