Virtual Systems Project Requirements
Write a 6 page research report based on some experiments. Here are some steps you should take.
Compare memory performance between VMware ESX Server and Microsoft HyperV
Prepare a virtualization environment. You may use whatever platform is available to you. Here are some virtualization platforms that are free to download and install.
1. • VMware ESXi, http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere-hypervisor
2. • Xen, http://www.xenproject.org
3. Design the experiment for your testing, or verifying your theory. You may need to choose some benchmark, or write your own benchmark program if you like.
This paper from VMware might be helpful when you are planning your experiment (https://www.vmware.com/pdf/VI3.5_Performance.pdf).
4. Collect your results from experiment, perform analysis, and draw a conclusion.
This project seeks to answer these three research questions.
1. What is the effect of different memory configurations (e.g., single-channel vrs dual-channel on server performance?
2. How does memory capacity affect the performance of memory-intensive workloads on a server?
3. What is the relationship between memory bandwidth and server performance?
