Computer Science Seminar Series
Adaptive Virtual Distributed Environments in a Shared Infrastructure
March 2, 3:00pm
Weir Hall, Room 235
Presenter: Paul Ruth
Faculty Candidate
With rapid advances in virtualization technologies, it is now possible to utilize virtual distributed environments as a new sharing paradigm for a multi-domain shared infrastructure. Such virtual environments provide users with confined, customized platforms to execute unmodified applications. Further, it is possible to support autonomic adaptation of virtual distributed environments, driven by both dynamic availability of infrastructure resources and dynamic application resource demand. Toward the realization of this vision, I have developed the VIOLIN middleware which has been deployed on the nanoHUB's Grid infrastructure. In this talk, I give a brief introduction to virtualization technologies and show how VIOLIN is being used to create adaptive virtual computational environments for shared infrastructures.
