Evaluation of ESX Server Under CPU Intensive Workloads

Tags:
processors

Overview Virtual machines are used by IT departments to provide better hardware utilization and to isolate users and programs from each other. The paper explores how configuration changes affect the throughput of virtual machines hosted on ESX Server during CPU intensive workloads. In particular the paper explores how Hyper-Threading, Virtual SMP, and the amount of RAM allocated affect throughput. Hyper-Threading is Intel's implementation of simultaneous multithreading technology and was introduced with the Xeon processor. Virtual SMP allows ESX Server to host virtual machines with two virtual processors.
