Title
Dynamic Guest Memory Resizing - Paravirtualized Approach
Abstract
Nowadays cloud-computing systems take a great advantage of virtualization for the benefits of workload isolation and flexible resources partitioning. It is expected that the same functionalities will be available also on disaggregated architectures, proposed recently as next generation approach for building data-centers. In this publication, we are presenting the design and prototype of an enhanced virtualization layer, enabling runtime memory balancing between virtual machines on a section granularity. Guests' RAM is backed by isolated chunks of host memory, coming from independent physical banks, not necessarily a local one. It can be dynamically resized without requiring any support for the ACPI emulation in the virtualization framework, as we exemplified by implementing the prototype on ARMv8 platform.
