Welcome to FGBI Project

Traditional xen-based systems track memory updates by keeping evidence of the dirty pages at each migration epoch. For example, Remus uses the same page size as Xen (for x86, this is 4KB), which is also the granularity for detecting memory changes. FGBI (Fine-Grained Block Ideni?cation) is a mechanism which uses smaller memory blocks (smaller than page sizes) as the granularity for detecting memory changes. FBGI calculates the hash value for each memory block at the beginning of each migration epoch. At the end of each epoch, instead of transferring the whole dirty page, FGBI computes new hash values for each block and compares them with the corresponding old values. Blocks are only modi?ed if their corresponding hash values don’t match. Therefore, FGBI marks such blocks as dirty and replaces the old hash values with the new ones. Afterwards, FGBI only transfers dirty blocks to the backup host.

FGBI is based on ​The Remus project and our previous efforts Lightweight Live Migration (LLM) mechanism.

"trac-admin yourenvdir initenv" created a new Trac environment, containing a default set of wiki pages and some sample data. This newly created environment also contains documentation to help you get started with your project.

You can use trac-admin to configure ​Trac to better fit your project, especially in regard to components, versions and milestones.

TracGuide is a good place to start.

Enjoy!
