Performance Evaluation Of An Iaas Opportunistic Cloud Computing

This poster shows the performance evaluation of UnaCloud Opportunistic Computing IaaS. We analyze from an HPC perspective, two virtualization frameworks Virtual Box and VMware ESXi and compare them over this particular opportunistic cloud environment. The benchmarks consist of two set of tests, High Performance Linpack and IOzone, that examine the performance and the Input/Output response. The purpose of the experiments is to evaluate the behavior of the different virtual environments over an opportunistic cloud environment and investigate how these are affected by different percentage of end-users. The results show a better performance for Virtual Box than VMware and the other way around for I/O response. Nevertheless, the experiments shows that VBox have more robustness than VMware.
