A Resource Management Methodology for Collaborative Computing System over Multiple Virtual Machines

A resource management methodology for Collaborative Computing Systems over Multiple Virtual Machines (CCSMVM) is presented to increase the performance of computing systems by improving the resource utilization, which has constructed a scalable computing environment for resource on-demand utilization. The authors have designed a resource management framework and a prototype to improve resource utilization rate, reduce computing systems overheads and maintain workloads balancing, whose key technologies include resource planning, resource allocation, resource adjustment and resource release.
