A key attraction of virtual machines (VMs) is live migration-the ability to move their execution
state across physical machines even as the VMs continue to run. Unfortunately, the …

Since first demonstrated by Clark et al. in 2005, live migration of virtual machines has both
become a standard feature of hypervisors and created an active field of research. However …

As real systems become larger and more complex, the use of simulator frameworks grows in
our research community. By leveraging them, users can focus on the major aspects of their …

Gathering detailed run-time information such as memory access traces in operating system
and security research often involves functional full system simulation (FFSS). The simulator …

To address this issue, this contribution takes a step back and investigates the essential
characteristics of live migration. The paper identifies 5 fundamental properties of live …

Cloud computing is an essential part of today's computing world. Continuously increasing
amount of computation with varying resource requirements is placed in large data centers …

Single event transient (SET) fault analysis is usually performed through digital simulation at
the gate level. However, this method cannot be used for large fault injection campaigns …

Post-copy is one of the two key techniques (besides pre-copy) for live migration of virtual
machines in data centers. Post-copy provides deterministic total migration time and low …

Cloud computing platforms routinely use virtualization to improve service availability,
resiliency, and flexibility. Live migration of Virtual Machines (VM) is a key technique to …
