Abstract:Nowadays,on virtualized platform,using shared memory channels to accelerate communication between virtualmachines(VMs) located on the same physical machine is a wildly used solution.XenVMC is such a project,which is implemented with high efficiency,full transparency and VM live migration supported.With the development of multi-core technology,XenVMC can be improved further.This paper proposed a multi-core optimization solution on XenVMC based on its individual communication model.By scheduling other CPUs in receiving VM,and updating the design of shared memory channels,XenVMC can receive data concurrently with mutli-cores.Experiment results illustrate that connection transaction throughout is improved obviously and communication throughout is also improved in some cases with multi-core optimization.

Key words:Inter-VM communication,Multi-core,Ring buffer
