Performance metrics

Hypervisor /Simulator

Riteau et al. [37]-2011

Migrate the VC over WAN network

Shrinker detects memory pages and disk blocks duplicated in a VC to avoid re-sending over WAN network

Reduce the network traffic

KVM 0.14.0

Deshpande et al. [34]-2012

Optimizing the performance of multiple VM’s

Present a IRLM for distributed system

Reduce the data transfer amount and total migration time by up to 44% and 26% in online compression and by up to 17% and 7% in the case of gang migration

QEMU /KVM

Jo et al. [99]-2013

Reduce the total time

Detect duplication between memory pages and storage blocks, maintain an up-to-date map of duplicated pages

30% reduction of the total migration time and 60% reduction for certain benchmark workloads
