A Framework for Management of Virtualization Clusters

Computer clusters have become a main stream of high performance computing platforms. To harvest these high performance systems, cluster operating environment has pressed on an additional abstraction using virtualization technology. Specific problem solving environments are isolated at the operating system level where real executions are performed in virtualization domains. Virtualization technology helps not only increasing utilization of computing resources but also reducing configuration workload, administrative cost, application porting, and energy saving. In this paper, the authors investigated an implementation of virtualization cluster.
