Experimental study of large-scale computing on virtualized resources
Juan Carlos Martínez, Lixi Wang, Ming Xin Zhao, Seyed Masoud Sadjadi · 2009
Parallel applications have a pressing need for the utilization of more and more resources to meet user's performance expectations. Unfortunately, these resources are not necessarily available within one single domain. Grid computing provides a solution to scaling out from a single domain; however, it also brings another problem for some applications: resource heterogeneity. Since some applications require having homogeneous resources for their execution, virtualizing the resources is a noble and viable solution.
