Abstract
An apparatus and method for controlling a resource utilization policy in a virtual environment are provided. The apparatus may increase network throughput by dynamically adjusting the resource utilization policies of a driver domain that can directly access a shared device, and a guest driver that cannot directly access the shared device. In addition, the apparatus may improve the efficiency of the use of CPU resources by appropriately adjusting the CPU occupancy rates of the driver and guest domains.
Claims20
An apparatus for controlling a resource utilization policy in a virtual environment, the apparatus comprising:
- a decision-making unit configured to decide to dynamically adjust the resource utilization policies of a driver domain that directly accesses a shared device and a guest domain that does not directly access the shared device;
- and
- a policy management unit configured to dynamically adjust the resource utilization policies of the driver domain and the guest domain based on the decision made by the decision-making unit.
A method of controlling a resource utilization policy in a virtual environment, the method comprising:
- deciding to dynamically adjust the resource utilization policies of a driver domain that directly accesses a shared device and a guest domain that does not directly access the shared device;
- and
- dynamically adjusting the resource utilization policies of the driver domain and the guest domains based on the decision.
