  2. Goals • Maintainability – Simple & Fast • Zero-admin good default behavior – Fairness : Weight based – I/O versus CPU intensive VCPUs – Tuning via per-VM weight & cap • Better SMP support – Work conserving – Transparent cross CPU migration – System wide accounting & fairness 9/18/06 XenSource: Open Source Enterprise Virtualization 2

  10. Global A Accounting • Periodically recompute priorities for all active VCPUs – UNDER (below fair share usage) – OVER (above fair share) • VCPU fair shares derived from VM weight and cap in proportion to all active VMs • Accounting cost – A function of # active VCPUs in system – NOT a function of # scheduling decisions 9/18/06 XenSource: Open Source Enterprise Virtualization 10

  11. Local C CPU S Scheduling • Per-CPU sorted runq – 2 VCPU priorities: OVER and UNDER fair share • Clock tick – Charge running VCPU • Scheduling decision – End of time slice or VCPU blocks – Common case: run next local VCPU under fair share – Otherwise: pick queued remote under fair share VCPU, local over VCPU, or remote over VCPU (in that order) • Scheduling cost – Common case: Pick next VCPU on local runq 9/18/06 XenSource: Open Source Enterprise Virtualization 11
