Abstract

As the use of virtual machines (VMs) for scientific applications becomes more common, we encounter the need to integrate VM provisioning models into the existing resource management infrastructure as seamlessly as possible. To address such requirements, we describe an approach to VM management that uses multi-level scheduling to integrate VM provisioning into batch schedulers such as PBS. We then evaluate our approach on the TeraPort cluster at the University of Chicago.
