Efficient disk I/O characteristics analysis method based on virtual machine technology. Journal of Software, 2010,21(4):849−862. /1000-9825/3492.htm Abstract : Disk I/O may be the bottleneck in computer systems because of the mechanism characters in disk system. In order to tune the system performance effectively, the collection of the disk I/O workload characteristics will be the essential step for the performance optimization. Compared with other I/O characteristics collection methods, this paper presents an on-line I/O characteristics analysis method based on Xen 3.0 virtual machine system. In virtual machine environments, this method can be transparent to the unmodified operating system. With this method, several essential I/O characteristics metrics can be collected, such as disk I/O block size, I/O latency, I/O arrival
