Cloud providers offer storage-optimized VMs equipped with locally attached storage to meet the high performance requirements of cloud users. However, current cloud providers cannot enable live migration for storage-optimized VMs due to the high resource ...

WebAssembly (Wasm) has been attracting attention as a common platform for edge computing thanks to its architecture neutrality, sandboxing for security, and lightweight characteristics that fit the requirements for distributed and cooperated processing ...

Live migration is not supported by current Intel® SGX implementations. So, software emulation is unavoidable to enable deployed hypervisors migrating live virtual machines running SGX enclaves in the cloud. However, copying the running state of an enclave ...

Shared-nothing, distributed databases scale transactional and analytical processing over a large data volume by spreading data across servers. However, static sharding of data across nodes makes such systems fail to timely adapt to changing workloads and ...

Soon after the proliferation of User-Equipments (UEs) that work with cloud computing, there was an explosion in the volume of generated data. Furthermore, emerging IoT applications, e.g. virtual reality, augmented reality, video streaming, ...

Mobile cloud gaming requires a very low end-to-end latency. Edge computing significantly reduces network latency. However, in mobility scenarios, the user will frequently move out of the edge server's coverage area, requiring frequent migration of the ...

With the widespread use of Docker and Kubernetes, OS-level virtualization has become a key technology to deploy and run software. At the same time, data centers and cloud providers offer shared computing resources on demand. The use of these resources ...

Live migration is a crucial feature in existing virtualization platforms. Since memory is dirtied rapidly during the execution of a virtual machine (VM), boosting memory migration speed becomes a significant factor in guaranteeing a high-level success ...

Service live migration means migrating the running services from one machine to another with negligible service downtime. It has been considered as a powerful mechanism to facilitate service management. However, conventional live migration methods ...

Bare-metal cloud platforms allow customers to rent remote physical servers and install their preferred operating systems and software to make the best of servers' raw hardware capabilities. However, this quest for bare-metal performance compromises ...

In clouds and data centers, GPU servers which consist of multiple GPUs are widely deployed. Current state-of-the-art GPU scheduling algorithm are "static" in assigning applications to different GPUs. These algorithms usually ignore the dynamics of the ...

Checkpoint/restore (a.k.a checkpoint/restart) is a technique which is naturally described by its two parts. The first one is a checkpoint. It allows creating snapshot of an application. The second one is restart. It uses the snapshot to run a copy of the ...

Live migration is one of the key technologies to improve data center utilization, power efficiency, and maintenance. Various live migration algorithms have been proposed; each exhibiting distinct characteristics in terms of completion time, amount of ...

The level of demand for bare-metal cloud services has increased rapidly because such services are cost-effective for several types of workloads, and some cloud clients prefer a single-tenant environment due to the lower security vulnerability of such ...

When integrated with push notifications, a live migration function can be used to ensure that systems have a high reliability in cases of hardware failures. However, the dependencies for a large range of hardware devices need to be addressed before ...

General purpose GPU (GPGPU) computing in virtualized environments leverages PCI passthrough to achieve GPU performance comparable to bare-metal execution. However, GPU passthrough prevents service administrators from performing virtual machine migration ...

Live migration of a virtual machine (VM) is a powerful technique with benefits of server maintenance, resource management, dynamic workload re-balance, etc. Modern research has effectively reduced the VM live migration (VMLM) time to dozens of ...

Back-and-forth live migration, which means a running VM migrates between two physical machines back and forth, has several important applications. Traditional methods treat each migration as a single event, so the VM releases its system resources on the ...

Cloud computing platforms routinely use virtualization to improve service availability, resiliency, and flexibility. Live migration of Virtual Machines (VM) is a key technique to quickly migrate workloads in response to events such as impending failure ...

Virtualization technology adds great opportunities and challenges to the cloud computing paradigm. Resource management can be efficiently enhanced by employing Live Virtual Machine Migration (LVMM) techniques. Based on the literature of LVMM ...
