Abstract

Virtual machine (VM) technology applied to HPC has been shown to improve system throughput and turnaround time [2, 3]. VMs provide additional compute power to backlogged clusters by abstracting the software environment of compute resources that are available on other clusters. Borrowing and provisioning resources from other clusters requires some way to efficiently manage VMs across multiple independent hosts [4].
