“…We also use information extracted by Xenoprof to uncover bugs and channel the information into optimizing Xen, to provide a view of their application on virtual machines for a scientist or an application's user [13]. In [14], researchers use Xenoprof for memory intensive applications such as DGEMM.…”

Background: With wide application of virtualization technology, the demand is increasing for performance analysis and system diagnosis in virtualization environment. There are some profiling toolkits based on hardware events, such as OProfile in native Linux and Xenoprof in Xen virtual machine environment. However, sometimes users in different domains need monitor different hardware events individually at the same time. For programming and profiling in environment for virtual machine, it may become popular in the coming future. In this paper, we present Metis, a system-wide profiling toolkit for Xen virtual machine environment based on the virtualization of hardware performance counters.

“…However, even if the raw performance of virtualization solutions is nowadays more suitable for HPC [5][6][7], their utilization is still very limited: (i) their system footprint is significant and will interfere with application execution and performance; (ii) current solutions support base Intel and AMD architectures but do not fully support their use in some of the more exotic HPC specific architectures; and (iii) the architecture of virtualization solutions is monolithic and does not allow dynamic configuration of the VMM.…”

“…There has been considerable interest, both recently and historically, in applying existing virtualization tools to HPC environments [59,24,31,37,65,66,70]. However, most of the recent work has been exclusively in the context of adapting or evaluating Xen and Linux on cluster platforms.…”

The two primary objectives of this LDRD project were to create a lightweight kernel (LWK) operating system(OS) designed to take maximum advantage of multi-core processors, and to leverage the virtualization capabilities in modern multi-core processors to create a more flexible and adaptable LWK environment. The most significant technical accomplishments of this project were the development of the Kitten lightweight kernel, the co-development of the SMARTMAP intra-node memory mapping technique, and the development and demonstration of a scalable virtualization environment for HPC. Each of these topics is presented in this report by the inclusion of a published or submitted research paper. The results of this project are being leveraged by several ongoing and new research projects.3 Acknowledgment
