| Abstract | Due to high flexibility and cost-effectiveness, cloud computing is increasingly being explored as an alternative to local clusters by academic and commercial users. Recent research already confirmed the feasibility of running tightly-coupled parallel applications with virtual clusters. However, such types of applications suffer from significant performance degradation, especially as the overcommitment is common in cloud. That is, the number of executable Virtual CPUs (VCPUs) is often larger than that of available Physical CPUs (PCPUs) in the system. The performance degradation mainly results from that the current Virtual Machine Monitors (VMMs) cannot co-schedule (or coordinate at the same time) the VCPUs that host parallel application threads/processes with synchronization requirements. We introduce a communication-driven scheduling approach for virtual clusters in this paper, which can effectively mitigate the performance degradation of tightly-coupled parallel applications running atop them in overcommitted situation. There are two key contributions. 1) We propose a communication-driven VM scheduling (CVS) algorithm, by which the involved VMM schedulers can autonomously schedule suitable VMs at runtime. 2) We integrate the CVS algorithm into Xen VMM scheduler, and rigorously implement a prototype. We evaluate our design on a real cluster environment, and experiments show that our solution attains better performance for tightly-coupled parallel applications than the state-of-the-art approaches like Credit scheduler of Xen, balance scheduling, and hybrid scheduling. |

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.
