Mitigating excessive vCPU spinning in VM-agnostic KVM

2021

In virtualized environments, oversubscribing virtual CPUs (vCPUs) on physical CPUs (pCPUs) is common to utilize CPU resources efficiently. Unfortunately, excessive vCPU spinning, which occurs when a vCPU is waiting in a spin loop for an …

PvCC: A vCPU Scheduling Policy for DPDK-applied Systems at Multi-Tenant Edge Data Centers

2024

This paper explores a practical means to employ Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), a kernel-bypassing framework for packet processing, in resource-limited multi-tenant edge data centers. The problem is that the traditional virtual CPU (vCPU) schedulers …
