Performance results comparing XenoLinux (Linux running in a Xen virtual machine) to native Linux as well as to other virtualization tools such as User Mode Linux (UML) were recently published in the paper "Xen and the Art of Virtualization" at the Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (October 2003). In this study, we repeat this performance analysis of Xen. We also extend the analysis in several ways, including comparing XenoLinux on x86 to an IBM zServer. We use this study as an example of repeated research. We argue that this model of research, which is enabled by open source software, is an important step in transferring the results of computer science research into production environments.}, doi = {http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1247415.1247462}, url = {http://www.usenix.org/event/usenix04/tech/freenix/clark.html}, author = {Clark, Bryan and Deshane, Todd and Dow, Eli and Evanchik, Stephen and Finlayson, Matthew and Herne, Jason and Matthews, Jeanna Neefe} }
