Wondering out loud.
I think what we have here is a clear cut need for "fast virtualization"
(e.g. no/little performance penalty) which enables "fast" migration.
And I just spotted that KVM supports migration
(http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Migration) and is integrated in the
2.6.21 kernel.
This would allow the scheduler to schedule on the actual resources being
used by an application and suspend and/or migrate a job whenever
necessary. Would'nt such an approach be far more superior (in terms of
throughput) and much easier to use ?
