Transparent, Power-Aware Migration in Virtualized Systems

Overview This paper explores the use of hypervisor-based virtualization technology as a means to enable power management in server systems. The approach focuses on the dynamic mapping of physical processors and hosts to virtual machines. The paper has developed a multi-tiered infrastructure that enables dynamic migration of virtual machine execution flow at two different levels: within and across computer nodes. Within a node, the infrastructure dynamically allocates and re-allocates virtual processors to their physical counterparts. Across nodes, the infrastructure employs live migration to relocate complete guest operating system instances to distinct physical hosts.
