I''m new to Xen and I''ve never attended XenSummit but I did look at the Presentations & Videos and the Agenda from 2011 and I''m wondering if XenSummit 2012 be a good venue for learning more about designing, deploying, and managing Xen-based clouds? (The XenSummit 2012 agenda hasn''t been published yet.) Eric Pretorious Truck...

Hi everybody, we had an overwhelming vote for a 1/2 day invite only DevDay on the Sunday before XenSummit. I will look at logistics and then get back to you. Regards Lars

Hi, I have hybrid smp running with autoxlate. However, without autoxlate, I am running into issues realted to TLB flush. The guest in this case makes multicalls as part of which cache is flushed (__do_update_va_mapping, etc..). However, the guest is using VPIDs and it is getting complicated. I can just xen not do any TLB management and let the guest just do it after return from the hypercall.

...can be reasonably foreseen. However, looking at available resources, it seems to have these key disadvantages 1. Poorer performance under load. http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Open_Topics_For_Discussion?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Quantitative+Comparison+of+Xen+and+KVM.pdf This 2008 XenSummit paper indicates that it dies on heavy network load as well as when there are more than a few VM doing heavy processing at the same time. But that's two years ago and they weren't using paravirtual drivers it seems. http://vmstudy.blogspot.com/2010/04/network-performance-test-xenkvm-vt-d.ht...

Hi list, I''ve read about recent efforts to push pv-on-hvm drivers to Linux mainline and I''m curious to know the cause for this. What''s the advantage over using pv_ops directly and booting the kernel paravirtualized? Are there plans to move Linux domUs closer to the KVM way (from an architectural point of view)? Hope you can help. Regards, Markus

...o, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1110_xenkvm&num=1 Ubuntu 11.10 with Xen 4.1.1 and Linux 3.0. Xen seems to be doing very poorly on that benchmark. If someone has time to repeat that benchmark it would be good.. Comparing the results to those from Stefano from XenSummit 2011 NA there has be something wrong.. the results at XenSummit were pretty much the opposite compared to those by Phoronix. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Hi, I would like to announce the first release of Kemari, an open-source virtual machine synchronization mechanism for fault tolerance. It offers a feasible approach to fault tolerance that does not require the use of specific hardware or modification of applications/OS. Kemari aims to keep VMs transparently running in times of hardware failures. It transfers the state of the primary VM to the

This is a repost of the RCU patch I have posted some time ago. The only change from the previous post, was to move it to a more recent version of xen-unstable (changeset 13386). I am planning to submit the following additional patches, after this one is accepted: 1) rename_find_domain.patch: Rename find_domain_by_id() to get_domain_by_id() 2) add_find_domain.patch: Add new

I want to know any difference between writing, reading and shadow page table (for example performance). I am thankful for any help or resource for that. -- Best Regards Mohamad Taghi Mir Mohamad Rezaie Iran University of Science and Technology Department of Computer Science & Engineering System Software Group _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

Xen Community: As many of you are aware, the Xen 4.0 hypervisor is due to ship tomorrow (shhhh, don''t tell anyone) and I wanted to get submissions underway for Xen 4.1 features.

Hello everyone! With the completion of our first few release candidates for 4.2, it''s time to look forward and start planning for the 4.3 release. I''ve volunteered to step up and help coordinate the release for this cycle. The 4.2 release cycle this time has been nearly a year and a half. One of the problems with having such a long release is that people who get in features

This took me a while to post, but given that we are not starting 4.4 just yet, this may be appropriate now. I may have misrepresented some stuff as it has been 4 weeks since I wrote these.
