Optimizing the Memory Management of a Virtual Machine Monitor on a NUMA System.

Virtualization significantly degrades computational performance on nonuniform memory access (NUMA) systems. The authors propose an optimization scheme based on a memory-access model that covers the entire access path and accommodates the chain-reacting behavior of memory subsystems. A quantitative e...

Descripción
Sumario:	Virtualization significantly degrades computational performance on nonuniform memory access (NUMA) systems. The authors propose an optimization scheme based on a memory-access model that covers the entire access path and accommodates the chain-reacting behavior of memory subsystems. A quantitative evaluation shows significant performance improvement with negligible overhead.
