OPTIMIZING VIRTUAL MACHINE SYNCHRONIZATION FOR APPLICATION SOFTWARE

摘要

Real-time application metrics of an application executed by a virtual machine are dynamically monitored by a controlling agent and analyzed to determine an optimal configuration of the virtual machine for executing the application. Based on the measured metrics, tunable parameters of the virtual machine may be adjusted to achieve desired application performance.

1. A method of optimizing performance of a virtual machine executed by a system that includes a plurality of processing units, the method comprising:
measuring, by a container application of the system running at a higher level on top of the virtual machine that controls the virtual machine, a metric of an application executed by the virtual machine, the metric comprising at least one of a hardware metric of the system upon which the virtual machine is executed and a software metric of the application executed by the virtual machine that is unavailable for measurement by the virtual machine; and adjusting a tunable execution parameter of the virtual machine for optimizing execution of the application based on the measured metric.
