Abstract
The paper concerns issues related to evaluation of processing in computational clouds. The effectiveness of the computational clouds depends on many factors and different metrics can be used to asses effects of processing. In this work potentiality for evaluation of processing in cloud virtual machines that takes into account also financial cost constraints is investigated. There are considered KVM and Hyper–V based cloud platform configurations. In the paper the APPI index (Application Performance and Price Index) that can be used for selection of recommended configuration considering acceptable price of processing is defined. Presented experiments show the impact of use of the proposed metric on the choice of recommended platform for processing.
