iPRP: Parallel Redundancy Protocol for IP Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Dan-Cristian Tomozei, Miroslav Popovic

Reliable packet delivery within stringent delay constraints is of primal importance to industrial processes with hard real-time constraints, such as electrical grid monitoring. Because retransmission and coding techniques counteract the delay requirements, ...

Laboratory as a Service (LaaS): a Model for Developing and Implementing Remote Laboratories as Modular Components

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann, Mohamed Tawfik

This contribution introduces a novel model, Laboratory as a Service (LaaS), for developing remote laboratories as independent component modules and implementing them as a set of loosely-coupled services to be consumed with a high level of abstraction and v ...

IX: A Protected Dataplane Operating System for High Throughput and Low Latency

Edouard Bugnion, Christos Kozyrakis, Georgios Prekas, Ana Klimovic

The conventional wisdom is that aggressive networking requirements, such as high packet rates for small messages and microsecond-scale tail latency, are best addressed outside the kernel, in a user-level networking stack. We present IX, a dataplane operati ...

Bringing Virtualization to the x86 Architecture with the Original VMware Workstation

Edouard Bugnion

This article describes the historical context, technical challenges, and main implementation techniques used by VMware Workstation to bring virtualization to the x86 architecture in 1999. Although virtual machine monitors (VMMs) had been around for decades ...

Performance Profiling of Virtual Machines

Willy Zwaenepoel, Jiaqing Du

Profilers based on hardware performance counters are indispensable for performance debugging of complex software systems. All modern processors feature hardware performance counters, but current virtual machine monitors (VMMs) do not properly expose them t ...

Performance Profiling in a Virtualized Environment

Willy Zwaenepoel, Jiaqing Du

Virtualization is a key enabling technology for cloud computing. Many applications deployed in a cloud run in virtual machines. However, profilers based on CPU performance counters do not work well in a virtualized environment. In this paper, we explore th ...

Concurrent Direct Network Access for Virtual Machine Monitors

Willy Zwaenepoel, Aravind Menon

This paper presents hardware and software mechanisms to enable concurrent direct network access (CDNA) by operating systems running within a virtual machine monitor. In a conventional virtual machine monitor, each operating system running within a virtual ...
