| Abstract | FermiCloud is a private cloud developed in Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory to provide elastic and on-demand resources for different scientific research experiments. The design goal of the FermiCloud is to automatically allocate resources for different scientific applications so that the QoS required by these applications is met and the operational cost of the FermiCloud is minimized. Our earlier research shows that VM launching overhead has large variations. If such variations are not taken into consideration when making resource allocation decisions, it may lead to poor performance and resource waste. In this paper, we show how we may use an VM launching overhead reference model to minimize VM launching overhead. In particular, we first present a training algorithm that automatically tunes a given reference model to accurately reflect FermiCloud environment. Based on the tuned reference model for virtual machine launching overhead, we develop an overhead-aware-best-fit resource allocation algorithm that decides where and when ∗Hao Wu works as an intern in Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, IL, USA †The research is supported in part by NSF under grant number CAREER 0746643 and CNS 1018731. ‡This work is supported by the US Department of Energy under contract number DE-AC02-07CH11359 §This work is supported by KISTI under a joint Cooperative Research and Development Agreement CRADA-FRA 20130001 / KISTI-C13013.

The experimental results indicate that the developed overhead-aware-best-fit resource allocation algorithm can significantly improved the VM launching time when large number of VMs are simultaneously launched. |
