George Dunlap, Senior Engineer, Citrix
George Dunlap received his PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2006.
He started doing work in the Xen hypervisor as part of his PhD research in 2004, and has continued to this day.
He specializes in performance analysis and optimization, and is currently writing a next generation scheduler
for Xen.
The Xen has a tracing infrastructure that can collect a large amount of very detailed data about what's happening
at the hypervisor layer. But making sense out of that data isn't an easy thing to do. In this talk I give an overview
of xenalyze, a powerful tool I've developed for finding meaning in the vast amounts of data generated by xentrace,
enabling both debugging and performance analysis.

Skylark aims to provide a generic platform which enables cloud applications to be easily deployed and accessed.
In the front-end, Skylark ports Spice to Xen and customizes Spice for
application window delivery and display. Skylark users can start any
application subscribed from Skylark application store and does not
need to know whether it runs in Linux or Windows.
In the back-end, by providing Xen Image File System (Xen-IFS),
multiple VMs are allowed to start up simultaneously from the same
snapshot or the same disk image. Xen-IFS will automatically keep and
isolate the private data produced by each VM.
Skylark makes it possible for Multiple User Single Installation (MUSI)
among VMs, and also makes it easy for application delivery through
remote VM access.

Daniel Castro, PhD Student, Pohang University of Science and Technology
Daniel is a PhD student at Pohang University of Science and
Technology. He got involved with the Xen community through Google
Summer of Code developing PV Drivers for Seabios. In 2007 he was
introduced to the virtualization and web acceleration world. During
that time he started to create data center consolidation solutions,
that is when he got involved with the Xen Hypervisor. During that time
his PhD aspirations were born. Daniel also worked closely with Citrix
Netscaler, and started contributing to netscalerkb.com and later became
an administrator. Simultaneously he was teaching first level
Programing at his former University. Daniel is very dynamic and
creative with a keen drive for learning diverse subjects from politics
comics, he currently enjoys Motorcycles and Strategic War Games. He
dreams one day to travel around the world in a motorcycle with his
wife.
As part of the Google Summer of Code, we tried to add support for SeaBIOS in order to allow guest OSes to be booted directly from
PV disk devices rather than from the emulated disk device. SeaBIOS is the BIOS implementation that upstream qemu uses. When the
virtual machine is created, SeaBIOS upon initialization uses a generic Xenstore client to communicate with the back end and
initialize the front-end block device that will connect to the back end. After the connection is established I/O requests are
made via the BIOS int 0x13 interface, guest OSes use the int 0x13 without needing to be aware that PV drivers were used.

The Xen community can be a great resource for people wishing both to use and to
improve Xen, and contributing to it can be rewarding both to individuals and to
corporations. But they have a culture all their own, and like any foreign culture,
it's a minefiled of potential misunderstandings and miscommunications. This talk
will talk about the cultural values and norms of the Xen community, and how you
can most effectively interact with them.

Stefano Stabellini, Senior Software Engineer, Citrix
Stefano Stabellini is a Senior Software Engineer at Citrix, working on the
Open Source Xen Platform team. He has been working on Xen since 2007, focusing
on several different projects, spanning from Qemu to the Linux kernel. He
currently maintains Xen support in Qemu, PV on HVM in the Linux kernel and
libxenlight. Before joining Citrix he was a researcher at the Institute for
Human and Machine Cognition, working on mobile ad hoc networks.
Traditionally Linux has always run on Xen either as a pure PV guest or
as a virtualization unaware guest in an HVM domain.
Recently, under the name of "PV on HVM", a series of works has been done
to make Linux aware that is running on Xen and enable as many PV
interfaces as possible even when running in an HVM container.
After enabling the basic PV network and disk drivers, some other
more interesting optimizations were implemented: in particular remapping
legacy interrupts and MSIs onto event channels.
This talk will explain the idea behind the feature, the reason why
avoiding interactions with the lapic is a good, and some implementation
details.

Eunkyu Byun, Manager, Cloud computing Lab, SKT
Eunkyu Byun joined SKT cloud computing lab. in this September after he received Ph.D in computer science
from KAIST in Aug. 2011. He mainly researched workflow scheduling and resource allocation algorithms
for large scale scientific applications in KAIST. Now in SKT, he participate in research projects
about realtime issues in Xen hypervisor and bigdata analysis.
The needs for immediate responsiveness of VMs in the virtualized environments have been on the rise.
Several services in SKT also require soft realtime support for virtual machines to substitute the physical
machines to achieve high utilization and adaptability. However, consolidated multiple OSes and irregular
external events might render the hypervisor infringe on a VM's promptitude. As a solution of this problem,
we are improving Xen's credit scheduler by introducing the RT_PRIORITY that guarantees a VM's running at
any given point in time as long as credits remains to be burn. It would increase the quality of service
and make a VM's behavior predictable on the consolidated environment. In addition, we extend our
suggestion to the multi-core environment and even a large number of physical machines by using live migrations.
