    Phoronix: Ubuntu 13.10 KVM Virtualization Benchmarks

    It's been almost two months since last publishing Intel Haswell virtualization benchmarks, but with the continued evolution of the Linux kernel and the rest of the virtualization stack, here's some new Linux KVM benchmarks from Ubuntu 13.10 in its current form from an Intel Core i7 processor...

    Not that the results aren't interesting but they would have made much more sense comparing bare metal, with virtio and without.

      It could be great to have the kvm command line (ps -aux|grep kvm), to see what options are used.

      Does it use virtio drivers ? does the vcpu use host cpumodel ?

      Results seem to be a bit slow.

          Windows 8 Pro comes with Microsoft's Hyper-V, and you can boot .VHD (virtual hard disk) images directly from the boot loader.

          Can Linux do anything like this?
          It would be cool if you could make GRUB boot into a virtual machine using KVM.

            Would be sort of neat but using a virtual machine on a desktop computer (like how most people use virtualbox) is not the main purpose of KVM or virtualization. Its mainly for servers which wouldnt make sense to boot into with grub. If anything it would be much better if we could get VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) using something like NVIDIA's grid tech but with ubuntu (or any distro) as the virtual desktop.
