Cost-Benefit Analysis of Virtualizing Batch Systems: Performance-Energy-Dependability Trade-Offs

Performance, energy efficiency, and dependability are key characteristics of batch systems, which can be differently affected when adopting virtualization. Scientific literature usually analyzes the variation with respect to different configurations of one characteristic, or the trade-off between two. In this paper, instead, we assess the impact of virtualization encompassing all of them. Results show that the joint analysis helps in finding the proper tuning of the system for balancing costs and benefits due to virtualization and related techniques.
