摘要

在现代数据中心中，最大限度地提高资源利用率和吞吐量至关重要。虚拟化允许多个虚拟机（vm）通过管理程序在单个主机上运行，但是它对性能和能源效率的影响仍然是一个关键的考虑因素。本研究评估了不同工作负载下各种管理程序的功耗和吞吐量，以帮助系统管理员优化配置。实验结果表明，Xen的功耗最高（86.1 Wh, Varmail），而KVM的效率最高（60.5 Wh）。Xen实现了最高的吞吐量（8579 ops/s），显著优于KVM （17x）和vSphere （5x）。此外，CentOS虚拟机在Xen上表现出更高的吞吐量，而Ubuntu虚拟机在vSphere ESXi上表现更好。此分析为选择最佳操作系统、管理程序和工作负载设置提供了有价值的见解，有助于在性能和能源效率之间取得平衡。

Quantitative analysis of hypervisor efficiency and energy consumption in heterogeneous multi-VM environments with varied server workloads

Maximizing resource utilization and throughput is critical in modern data centers. Virtualization enables multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on a single host via a hypervisor, but its impact on performance and energy efficiency remains a key consideration. This study evaluates the power consumption and throughput of various hypervisors under different workloads to assist system administrators in optimizing configurations. Experimental results show that Xen has the highest power consumption (86.1 Wh, Varmail), while KVM is the most efficient (60.5 Wh). Xen achieves the highest throughput (8579 ops/s), significantly outperforming KVM (17

\times

) and vSphere (5

\times

). Additionally, CentOS VMs exhibit higher throughput on Xen, while Ubuntu VMs perform better on vSphere ESXi. This analysis provides valuable insights for selecting the best operating system, hypervisor, and workload setup, helping to strike a balance between performance and energy efficiency.
