Welcome to the blog of Can Sar, a Stanford CS major. This blog is made up of my thoughts on Computer Science and the computer industry, as well as ever exciting tales from my life.
From the description alone, this sounds amazing. The basic goal is to schedule physical processors in a multiprocessor machine, to virtual processors in several multiprocessor, virtual machines. They are trying to maximize physical processor usage, while minimizing waiting times due to locks. They use something called time ballooning, which is similar to the memory ballooning in VMware ESX Server, I am not entirely sure how exactly this works, but it seems like a neat idea. Of all the papers yet, this will probably be the first I read.
