Abstract

Due to its potential, the use of virtual machines in grid computing is attracting increasing attention. Most of the researches focus on how to create or destroy a virtual execution environments for different kinds of applications, the policy of managing the virtual environments isn't widely discussed. This paper proposes an adaptive and dependable virtual execution environment for grid computing called ADVE, which focuses on the policy of managing dependable virtual execution environments, such as when to create and destroy a new virtual execution execution environment, when to migrate applications from one virtual workspace to a new virtual workspace. We conduct experiments over a cluster to evaluate the performance of ADVE, and the experimental results show that ADVE can improve the throughput and the reliability of Grid resources with the adaptive management of virtual machines.
