[Xen-devel] Performances compare between PV domU & HVM domU & PV-on-HVM domU
hi all As we all know, xen currently support these three types domU mode, and every mode has it''s own features, such as: Advantages Disadvantages PV: Good I/O performance Have to modify the domU kernel Hardware Independent Can''t support windows HVM: no need to modify kernel not good at I/O performance support various OS include Hardware dependent(VT) linux, windows PV-on-HVM: Optimize the I/O Have to transplant the pv performance with pv drivers drivers between various kernel support various OS include versions linux, windows 1.Are the compare right? Or where can I get the more detailed performance compare given by the government? Specially, what about I/O performance between PV & PV-on-HVM??? 2.When I choose domU mode, what conditions should I care for? 3.Is PV can use VT hardware technology? 4.In future, which modes will become the main direction? Any reply will be appreciated, thanks a lot. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

no one want to discuss the advantages between PV domU & HVM domU?
