Abstract
This article analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of current data communication mechanism among multiple virtual machines. Combining the characteristics of the cloud platform openstack, this paper puts forward a method to make the communication of virtual machines more efficient by using para-virtualization. Through the shared memory we can break down the communication barriers among the virtual machines and reduce the number of data copy times in the process of data transferring. Experiments show that the communication efficiency of multiple virtual machines gets higher.
