Avaliação automatizada de desempenho de sistemas de virtualização GNU/Linux e VMware para computação de alto desempenho

Abstract

Hypervisors are fundamental technologies for virtualization. They are responsible for the hardware abstraction and the provision of virtualized resources to the guests. This activity results in overhead. The type of application that will be performed in virtualized environments, may vary the performance significantly, according to the technology chosen. The present work aims to evaluate the performance of two different hypervisors: KVM and VMware ESXi, check discrepancies and compare their performances with the performance of the native environment. To perform the experiments and contribute with the reproducibility of this work, a script was developed. Experiments indicate that KVM has better performance.
