Optimizing network performance in virtual machines

Aravind Menon

In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in the adoption of virtual machine technology in data centers and cluster environments. This trend towards server virtualization is driven by two main factors: the savings in hardware cost that can be achieved ...

EPFL2009

Since [years] we hear about Virtual Reality as a discipline that could potentially provide benefits to many applications. Basically, the principle of Virtual Reality consists in stimulating user senses in order to give the impression to be in another place ...

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 ...

Practical Design and Implementation of a CAVE Environment

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Sylvain Cardin, Achille Peternier

CAVE systems are nowadays one of the best Virtual Reality (VR) immersive devices available for rendering virtual environments. Unfortunately, such kind of hardware is extremely expensive, complex and cum-bersome, thus limited in its spread. Several cheaper ...

Haptic interface design and control with application to surgery simulation

Ulrich Spälter

This thesis proposes a framework for haptic devices interacting with virtual environments. As application of the theoretical results a haptic device for the surgical training of hysteroscopy, a gynecologic intervention, is presented. Surgery simulators, wh ...

Crowds for interactive virtual environments

Branislav Ulicny

Crowds are part of our everyday experience; nevertheless, in virtual worlds they are still relatively rare. In this thesis we explore the challenges of bringing crowds into interactive virtual environments and the possible applications of real-time interac ...

EPFL2005

Virtual Machine (VM) environments (e.g., VMware and Xen) are experiencing a resurgence of interest for diverse uses including server consolidation and shared hosting. An application's performance in a virtual machine environ- ment can differ markedly from ...

Multisensory learning cues using analytical collision detection between a needle and a tube

Etienne Burdet, Fei Wang

We are developing a Virtual Reality based training system for micromanipulation in collaboration with the National University Hospital in Singapore. While conventional approaches judge a virtual environment by its resemblance to the real environment, we us ...
