Simulation study of Xen-based virtual environments using Simics
This module is part of a class project for U. Florida's EEL 6892 (Virtual Computers, Fall 2008). The simulation environment is based on Simics, and pre-configured checkpoint images. The checkpoint has the Xen hypervisor with two Xen-Linux domains (dom0, domU0), and two benchmarks (nbench and OpenAFS make) are pre-configured.
Step 1: Instructions for getting started with Archer and running Simics
Step 2: Instructions for submitting batch Simics jobs to Condor
Step 3: Class project - simulation-based analysis of VMM/hardware interactions
