ABSTRACT
Workload consolidation based on virtualization techniques has been widely adopted in most Cloud Computing platforms to improve energy efficiency. However, workload consolidation comes with performance degradation due to the contention in shared resources, such as CPU cache, memory controller, etc. In this paper, we study the change of performance and power consumption with various mixes of workloads. We performed experiments with SPEC CPU2006 benchmark suite on an Intel's quad-core processor, and observed that there is noticeable relationship among characteristics of workloads, performance interference and power consumption.

Two Optimization Mechanisms to Improve the Isolation Property of Server Consolidation in Virtualized Multi-core Server
HPCC '10: Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE 12th International Conference on High Performance Computing and CommunicationsVirtualization brings many benefits such as improving system utilization and reducing cost through server consolidation. However, it also introduces isolation problem when running multiple virtual machine workloads in one physical platform. Additionally,...
A dynamic VM consolidation technique for QoS and energy consumption in cloud environment
Cloud-based data centers consume a significant amount of energy which is a costly procedure. Virtualization technology, which can be regarded as the first step in the cloud by offering benefits like the virtual machine and live migration, is trying to ...
Server consolidation with migration control for virtualized data centers
Virtualization has become a key technology for simplifying service management and reducing energy costs in data centers. One of the challenges faced by data centers is to decide when, how, and which virtual machines (VMs) have to be consolidated into a ...
