Improving the reliability of commodity operating systems (2005, background): “Virtual machine technologies [39, 43, 190, 207, 17] are an alternative solution to isolating unreliable code.”
Tycoon: An implementation of a distributed, market-based resource allocation system (2004, positive): “total auctioneer overhead, including VServers, is at most ten percent and usually much less. Systems that virtualize at the hardware level like VMWare [3] or Disco [7] have signiﬁcantly more overhead [12]. For local allocation, Tycoon uses the plkmod proportional share scheduler [6], which implement”
Dynamic Malware Analysis in the Modern Era—A State of the Art Survey (2019, methodology): “• Open-source platforms such as Xen [100] (hypervisor) and QEMU [101] (emulator) have been used by many analysis tools, since they provide cheap and reliable infrastructure for academic research.”
Linux Kernel Development (2003, methodology): “There are a number of virtualisation tools available to assist with testing software such as qemu [8], UML [9], VMWare [10] and Xen [ 11 ].”
Agile dynamic provisioning of multi-tier Internet applications (2008, methodology): “1:32 B. Urgaonkar et al. our switching scheme since the performance of Xen/Linux has been shown to be consistently close to native Linux [Barham et al. 2003].”
On the Performance Variability of Production Cloud Services (2011, background): “Much effort has been put recently in assessing the performance of virtualized resources, in cloud computing environ ments [7]–[11] and in general [21]–[24].”
vTPM: Virtualizing the Trusted Platform Module (2006, positive): “The combination of a hardware-based root of trust such as the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) [23], and a virtual machine-based system such as Xen [4], VMware [26], or PHYP [14], is exceedingly well suited to satisfying these security requirements.”
A case for high performance computing with virtual machines (2006, methodology): “An example of VMM-bypass I/O was presented in Xen-IB [18], a prototype we developed to virtualize InniBand under Xen [ 6 ].”
