An analysis of the performance of block live migration in Openstack

Since our servers have been set up for live migration with Openstack Icehouse, we wondered how live migration would perform. We measured the duration of the migration process, VM downtime duration and the amount of data transfered via the ethernet during a live migration. All tests were performed across 5 different VM flavors to examine the impact […]

Understanding the relationship between ceilometer processor utilisation and system energy consumption for a basic scenario in Openstack

In one of our earlier blog posts, we described some test we performed to determine how server power consumption increases with compute load; this post is something of a variation on that post, but here we put the focus on work taking place within VMs rather than work taking place within the host OS. The […]

ICCLab summer retreat in the Black Forest

From August 20th to August 22nd, ICCLab went to a summer retreat in Grafenhausen, into the Black Forest, Germany. The objective of the retreat was to define the current status of our research Themes and Initiatives and expose the planned work for the year to come. With so many new team members that joined us in the last […]

Collecting energy consumption data using Kwapi in Openstack

In some of our projects we need to understand the energy consumption of our servers in an Openstack cluster. The first step in this process was to collect energy consumption data from our IBM servers; we stored this in Ceilometer for further study. In this blog post we will cover how we do this. First, […]

Profiling the Ceilometer API to Identify Performance Bottlenecks

We are using ceilometer to collect data energy from our servers. As noted previously we were having some performance issues and we needed to investigate further. In this blog post we will cover our approach to performing profiling on ceilometer API to determine where the problems arose. Of course, the first step was to take […]

Most suitable language for SDK development for SDN?

We at ICCLab are embarking upon an exciting project to make a software development kit to enable SDN researchers develop exciting products and innovative protocols overcoming the challenges and drawbacks of decades old network protocols in use today. We had a huge debate internally to decide which programming language to use for this development. Since, […]

Understanding how server energy consumption varies with CPU-bound workload

In some of our project work, we need to understand the energy consumption of our servers.  One basic test we performed was to determine how server power consumption increases with load. In this blog post we document the results we obtained. Schlagwörter: cpu bound workload, server energy consumption
