دانلود مقاله انگلیسی: Entropy: a ConsolidationManager for Clusters

                Clusters provide powerful computing environments, but in practice  much of this power goes to waste, due to the static allocation  of tasks to nodes, regardless of their changing computational requirements. Dynamic consolidation is an approach that migrates tasks within a cluster as their computational requirements change,  both to reduce the number of nodes that need to be active and to  eliminate temporary overload sit ...

دانلود مقاله انگلیسی: Live Migration of Virtual Machines

              Abstract Migrating operating system instances across distinct physical hosts is a useful tool for administrators of data centers and clusters: It allows a clean separation between hardware and software, and facilitates fault management, load balancing, and low-level system maintenance. By carrying out the majority of migration while OSes continue to run, we achieve impressive performance with minimal service downtimes; we demonstrate the migration ...
