Graduate-level modules
Simulation study of Xen-based virtual environments using Simics (EEL6892 Spring 2012)
This module is part of a class project for University of Florida's EEL6892 (Virtual Computers, Spring 2012). You will use Simics to simulate and increase your understanding of Xen as well as the Linux environment and benchmark application.
EEL6892 Spring 12 HW 2: Understanding Simics
Simulation study of Xen-based virtual environments using Simics (EEL6892 Spring 2011)
This module is part of a class project for University of Florida's EEL6892 (Virtual Computers, Spring 2011). You will use Simics to simulate and increase your understanding of Xen as well as the Linux environment and benchmark application.
EEL6892 Spring 11 HW 2: Understanding Simics
EEL6892 Spring 11 HW 3: Introduction to Xen
EEL6892 Spring 11 HW 4: Scheduling Inside Xen
Simulation study of Xen-based virtual environments using Simics (EEL-6892 Fall 2009)
This module is part of a class project for U. Florida's EEL 6892 (Virtual Computers, Fall 2009). The simulation environment is based on Simics, and pre-configured checkpoint images. The checkpoint has the Xen hypervisor with two Xen-Linux domains (dom0, domU), and two benchmarks (nbench and OpenAFS make) are pre-configured.
EEL6892 Fall 09 HW 1: Instructions for getting familiar with the Xen image
EEL6892 Fall 09 HW 2: Instructions for getting started with Archer and running Simics
EEL6892 Fall 09 HW 3: Instructions for submitting batch Simics jobs to Condor
EEL6892 Fall 09 Class project: Simulation-based analysis of VMM/hardware interactions
Simulation study of Xen-based virtual environments using Simics (EEL-6892 Fall 2008)
