Event: VMworld 2008 Opens Up Registration

May 5, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

Last Friday, VMware has officially opened up the registration process for the fifth edition of its annual VMworld conference. VMworld 2008 will be held September 15-18 at The Venetian in Las Vegas. If you’re still interested in submitting a paper for one of the sessions at the conference, you’d better be quick: the call for papers deadline ends next Friday.

Ottawa Linux Symposium Issues CFP For Mini Summit on Virtualization

April 22, 2008 by Kris Buytaert 1 Comment

The Ottawa Linux Symposium today announced its Mini Summits that will be taking place on the Tuesday before the actual Symposium. One of these summits is the “Virtualization Technology & Management” Mini Summit which has just issued a Call for Presentations.

There will be two types of presentations

  • Full Presentations: These presentations will consume an entire 40 minute time slot. It is suggested that the presentation be planned for 25-30 minutes which will allow for a 10-15 minute period of dicussions with the audience.
  • Lightning talks: These talks will be scheduled for 5 minutes.
  • And the suggested topics are :

    Virtualization Technology: Review and/or provide deep insight into the fundamentals of specific virtualization technologies. Exploration of project development opportunities. Discussion of ideas to improve the technologies.

    Layered Tools and New Opportunities: How can virtualized environments be made manageable? What’s worked and not worked in the past? What new ideas are cropping up?

    Virtualization Deployment Experiences: What’s the “Good, the Bad and the Ugly”? What has gone right? What has gone wrong? What are end users’ thoughts about the whole experience? Are folks meeting goals and saving money overall? What are the unexpected benefits?

    Meet us there!

    Call for Papers on Virtualization in High-Performance Cluster

    January 26, 2008 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

    The 3rd Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cluster and Grid Computing (VHPC’08) is calling for papers. This prestigious workshop will be held as part of Euro-Par 2008, at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on the Canary Island in Spain from August 26 to 29, 2008

    Focus on Virtual machine monitors (VMMs)

    VMMs are reaching wide-spread adoption in a variety of operating systems as well as scientific educational and operational usage areas. With their low overhead, hypervisors allow for concurrently running large numbers of virtual machines, providing each encapsulation, isolation and in the case of Xen, network-wide CPU migratability. VMMs offer a network-wide abstraction layer of individual machine resources to OS environments, thereby opening whole new cluster-and grid high-performance computing (HPC) architectures and HPC services options. With VMMs finding applications in HPC environments, these workshops aim to bring together researchers and practitioners active on virtualization in distributed and high-performance cluster and grid computing environments. The workshops will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections. Presentations may be accompanied with interactive demonstrations and the accepted papers will be published in the Springer LNCS series. The workshop will be chaired by Michael Alexander (WU in Vienna) and Stephen Childs (co-chair), Trinity College in Dublin and will end with a 30 minute panel discussion by the presenters.

    Topics include the following subject matters:

    Virtualization in cluster and grid environments

    Workload characterizations for VM-based clusters

    • Virtualization in cluster and grid environments
      Workload characterizations for VM-based clusters
      VM cluster and grid architectures
      Cluster reliability, fault-tolerance, and security
      Compute job entry and scheduling
      Compute workload load leveling
      Cluster and grid filesystems for VMs
      VMMs, VMs and QoS guarantees
      Research and education use cases
      VM cluster distribution algorithms
      MPI, PVM on virtual machines
      System sizing
      Hardware support for virtualization
      High-speed interconnects in hypervisors
      Hypervisor extensions and utilities for cluster and grid computing
      Network architectures for VM-based clusters
      VMMs/Hypervisors on large SMP machines
      Performance models
      Performance management and tuning hosts and guest VMs
      Power considerations
      VMM performance tuning on various load types
      Xen/other VMM cluster/grid tools
      High-speed Device access from VMs
      Management, deployment of clusters and grid environments with VMs
      Information systems for virtualized clusters
      Management of system images for virtual machines
      Integration with relevant standards e.g. CIM, GLUE, OGF, etc.
