Description: Write a report 5-6 pages to compare the performance (or other aspects) between VMware ESX Server and Linux KVM. Examples listed below

Compare the impact of using different scheduler for certain applications.

Characterizing virtualization overhead due to CPU (or memory or I/O) for a certain virtualization platform.

Best practice of managing the memory (or storage) on a certain platform.

Compare NFS-backed storage and iSCSI storage for virtual servers. A new idea (must be from yourself) of measuring (or planning) the performance of virtual servers.

Then design the experiment for your testing, or verifying your theory. You may need to choose some benchmark, or write your own benchmark program if you like. This paper from VMware might be helpful when you are planning your experiment (https://www.vmware.com/pdf/VI3.5_Performance.pdf). For I/O related research, you may use IOzone (http://www.iozone.org) to benchmark application level I/O. Collect your results from experiment, perform analysis, and draw a conclusion.
