Hypervisors Performance Evaluation with Help of HPC Challenge Benchmarks

Nowadays, more organizations are getting used to private and public clouds. So clouds must be robust enough to handle computing sensitive requests of users in a cost effective manner. Furthermore, it is intellectual to improve the cloud infrastructure performance by appropriate choices. In this paper we are going to evaluate various hypervisors performance, including VMware ESXi and Workstation, KVM, Xen, and Oracle VirtualBox using HPC Challenge (HPCC) benchmark suite and OpenMPI to find solutions for virtualization layer of cloud computing architecture.
