We experimentally evaluate the performance overhead of the virtual environments VMware Player, QEMU, VirtualPC and VirtualBox on a dual-core machine. Firstly, we assess the performance of a Linux guest OS running on a virtual machine by separately benchmarking the CPU, file I/O and the network bandwidth. These values are compared to the performance achieved when applications are run on a Linux OS directly over the physical machine. Secondly, we measure the impact that a virtual machine running a volunteer @home project worker causes on a host OS. Results show that performance attainable on virtual machines depends simultaneously on the virtual machine software and on the application type, with CPU-bound applications much less impacted than IO-bound ones. Additionally, the performance impact on the host OS caused by a virtual machine using all the virtual CPU, ranges from 10\% to 35\%, depending on the virtual environment.

Implications of CPU Dynamic Performance and Energy-Efficient Technologies on the Intrusiveness Generated by Desktop Grids Based on Virtualization
G Sotelo, E Rosales, H Castro - High Performance Computing, 2014 - Springer
Abstract We evaluate how dynamic performance and energy-efficient technologies, as
features introduced in modern processor architectures, affect the intrusiveness that Desktop
Grids based on virtualization generate on desktops. Such intrusiveness is defined as ...
