Workshop on Micro Architectural Support for Virtualization, Data Center Computing, and Clouds In Conjunction with MICRO 2010 Atlanta, GA, USA Questions: masvdc2010@gmail.com
System virtualization is rapidly becoming an enabling technique for many computing areas. System virtualization has been applied throughout the enterprise, IT organizations, clouds, and in the home, deployed in a wide range of devices from supercomputers, high-end servers, corporate workstations/laptops, to mobile devices and virtual appliances. This is made possible due to the availability of hardware assisted virtualiztion technology that can scale from booklet, embedded system, to high-end servers. Advantages of system virtualization include, improved resource utilization and manageability in data centers/clouds, more available and dependable IT services, faster deployment of services and infrastructure, energy savings, dramatically improved security for servers and mobile devices. In the era of cloud computing and pervasive intelligent embedded systems, practitioners and researchers have to address new challenges and requirements in order to meet the ever-growing demands for better resource sharing, more energy savings, better scalability, improved security and dependability.
CALL FOR PAPERS
MASVDC is intended to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry, to share practical implementations/experiences related to virtualization, data center, and cloud support at micro architecture and/or system level, and to discuss future trends in research and applications. To that end, papers are solicited from the areas, including, but not limited to:
- Micro architectural and/or system support for advanced I/O virtualization and I/O resource sharing - Embedded and mobile system virtualization - Micro architectural support for data center and cloud computing - Multi-core/many-core processor virtualization and support for multi-core guest OSes - Performance measurement, modeling, characterization, and analysis - Support for green data centers and power efficient virtualization - Power measurement, characterization, analysis, and modeling - Support for virtualization and data center security and/or dependability - Benchmarks and benchmarking - Interaction between system and micro-architecture - Support for virtual server consolidation and migration - Simulation, validation, and verification tools - Experiences with real systems |
