It has become an important technology fulcrum of server technology. The future trend of multi-core processors is heterogeneity. Dynamical heterogeneity makes a greater challenge for the future operating system. Intermittent fault is a common phe- nomenon in hardware, which means hardware errors burst during a period of time. Intermittent faults are caused by fluctuation of voltage, temperature or some other fac- tors. Since the factors causing intermittent fault are various, the duration of bursty fault have a wide timescale. Virtualization is a concept closely related to multicore processors. The basic thought is that a unique physical resource may act like multiple virtual resources which can be operated separately. Obviously, multicore processors let the implementation of virtualization to be more easy, because each core can process different things. In re- cent years, Xen has already become one of the most popular virtualization technology. Xen is an open source virtual machine monitor for IA-32 (x86, x86-64), IA-64 and PowerPC 970 architectures. Xen allows several operating systems to share ordinary hardware in a safe and managed manner, without sacrificing performance and func- tionality. One of the core features of Xen is multiple tasks. The hypervisor must promise each running virtual machine to get some CPU time. Similar to scheduling in operating system, scheduling in Xen is a tradeoff between running each domain fairly and achieving good overall throughput. The scheduling in operating systems
