Recently the ICCLab, ZHAW acquired a KTI project, ACeN – Apache CloudStack for NFV. Cloudstack is one of the front running Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platforms for cloud environment.
Up to now, we have published several blog posts focusing on the live migration performance in our experimental Openstack deployment – performance analysis of post-copy live migration in Openstack and an analysis of the performance of live migration in Openstack. While we analyzed the live migration behaviour using different live migration algorithms (read our previous blog posts regarding pre-copy […]
Denis is an assistant in the SDN Initiative since January 2015. His field of functions includes developing and maintaining SDN applications and test environments. Before joining the ICCLab he worked as a software developer in Zürich. He is currently part time studying Information Technology at the ZHAW. His interests include programming languages, web and networking technologies.
It is well recognized that GPUs can greatly outperform standard CPUs for certain types of work – typically those which can be decomposed into many basic computations which can be parallelized; matrix operations are the classical example. However, GPUs have evolved primarily in the context of the quite independent video subsystem and even there, the […]
Luca is an intern at ZHAW InIT Cloud Computing Lab. He joined the team in August 2015. His internship is the last step of his education to become a developer. Luca is doing his schooling from IMS (Informatikmittelschule) at KSH in Zurich. The curriculum requires three years of scholar education and one year of an […]
