Attributes

Description

eVM

the boot time of the experimental VM (eVM) is the prediction target

wVM

the workload VM (wVM) runs a stress test to compete for computing resources

\(c_{i,CPU}\)

The number of CPU cores available on host i

\(\alpha _i\)

I/O and network latency time spent during the boot process of an eVM when there is no resource contention on the selected host i

\(\beta _i\)

CPU time spent during the boot process of an eVM when there is no resource contention on the selected host i

\(Q_i\)

The number of wVMs on host i

\(R_i\)

The number of eVMs on host i

ovm

The sum of the minimum values of \(R_j\) and \(c_{j, CPU}-1\) for all other hosts j

\(ovm^{\prime }\)

The sum of the maximum values of 0 and \(R_j-c_{j, CPU}+1\) for all other hosts j

\(boot\_time\)

Average VM boot time on host i
