| Abstract | Server virtualization brings benefits in autonomic resource management, but also leads to new challenges. The challenge the paper addresses is on profiling physical resource utilization information of VMs when consolidated on a single server. Profiling is very difficult due to dynamic mapping relationships of resource activities between the virtual layer and the physical layer. The problem is further exacerbated by cross-resource utilization causality relationships due to virtualization overhead and resource utilization multiplexing across different VMs. We formulate profiling as a source separation problem as studied in digital signal processing, and design a directed factor graph (DFG) to model the multivariate dependence relationships among different resources (CPU, memory, disk, network) across virtual and physical layers. A benchmark based methodology is designed to build a DFG based model for the VM information calibration problem. A run-time calibration mechanism is proposed based on the DFG based model and further enhanced with a robust remodeling method based on guided regression. The proposed methodology outputs estimates of physical resource utilization on individual VMs and physical server aggregate resource utilization. We present a case study using the Xen-virtualization platform and evaluate the methodology for different consolidation scenarios with diverse applications including RUBiS, IOzone, SysBench, and Netperf. The results show that the DFG calibration significantly improves the accuracy of the resource utilization information collected within guest VMs as it reduces relative errors in CPU utilization from 44.8% down to 3.9% for CPU-intensive applications and relative errors in disk write rate from 391.5% down to 10.6% for IO-intensive applications, strongly arguing for the effectiveness of the proposed DFG calibration methodology. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
