Abstract:


This paper proposes an architecture to handle the allocation of virtual machines based on the processing power for heterogeneous Clouds, where there is a wide variety of CPU types. Our major contribution is a novel representation of the processing capacity in terms of the Processing Unit (PU) and the CPU usage limitation in order to isolate the processing capability from the Physical Machine (PM) where the Virtual Machine (VM) is allocated. The efficiency of the proposed architecture is validated by extensive replications of five experiments using a real private cloud. The results show that it is possible to use the proposed idea to define a PU, supported by the CPU usage limitation, to enable the VM's processing power remain at the same level regardless of the PM.
