Applying lightweight flexible virtual machines to extensible embedded systems
Pages 23 - 28
Abstract
Virtual Machines are spreading from the desktop to other domains. Embedded Systems is a domain where the benefits of Virtual Machines such as portability or software-based isolation can be of much help. However, for highly dynamical, extensible systems we believe that the key features needed in a VM to succeed in the domain are flexibility and lightweightness, and that reflection and a VM reduced instruction set are the means to achieve this. In this paper we briefly describe two VMs built in our research group with the before mentioned properties that could be evolved for the embedded systems domain: The Carbayonia and the nitrO Abstract Machines.

Live gang migration of virtual machines
HPDC '11: Proceedings of the 20th international symposium on High performance distributed computingThis paper addresses the problem of simultaneously migrating a group of co-located and live virtual machines (VMs), i.e, VMs executing on the same physical machine. We refer to such a mass simultaneous migration of active VMs as "live gang migration". ...
Inter-rack live migration of multiple virtual machines
VTDC '12: Proceedings of the 6th international workshop on Virtualization Technologies in Distributed Computing DateWithin datacenters, often multiple virtual machines (VMs) need to be live migrated simultaneously for various reasons such as maintenance, power savings, and load balancing. Such mass simultaneous live migration of multiple VMs can trigger large data ...
Post-copy live migration of virtual machines
We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of post-copy based live migration for virtual machines (VMs) across a Gigabit LAN. Post-copy migration defers the transfer of a VM's memory contents until after its processor state has been sent to ...
