Description
Summary:Web workloads are known to vary dynamically with time which poses a challenge to resource allocation among the applications. In this paper, we argue that the existing dynamic resource allocation based on resource utilization has some drawbacks in virtualized servers. Dynamic resource allocation directly based on real-time user experience is more reasonable and also has practical significance. To address the problem, we propose a system architecture that combines real time measurements and analysis of user experience for resource allocation. We evaluate our proposal using Webbench. The experiment results show that these techniques can judiciously allocate system resources.
