This document presents Xen, a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that allows multiple commodity operating systems to run concurrently on a physical machine. Xen achieves good performance and isolation between virtual machines through a technique called paravirtualization, where guest operating systems are modified to interface directly with the VMM rather than attempting to virtualize all hardware. This enables Xen to multiplex physical resources efficiently at the granularity of an entire operating system.
This document presents Xen, a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that allows multiple commodity operating systems to safely share hardware resources with high performance and minimal overhead. Xen uses a technique called paravirtualization where it presents a virtualized interface to guest operating systems that is similar but not identical to the underlying hardware. This requires some modifications to port guest operating systems but allows them to run with performance close to running directly on the hardware. Xen is targeted at hosting up to 100 virtual machines simultaneously on modern servers.
AUTOMATED VM MIGRATION USING INTELLIGENT LEARNING TECHNIQUEIRJET Journal
This document discusses an approach for automated virtual machine (VM) migration using intelligent learning techniques like fuzzy logic. The goal is to develop a load balancing as a service (LBaaS) software that provides optimal quality of service (QoS). Fuzzy logic is used to decide whether to migrate live VMs or newly requested VMs based on the current state of the VM hosting servers. The live migration technique is employed to balance server loads and ensure uninterrupted service during VM migration with minimal downtime. Two VM hosting servers are set up and connected via a network to act as a cluster. VM requests and resource usage data are sent to the fuzzy logic system which then determines the best placement or migration of VMs based on predefined
Virtual machines (VMs) run in isolation from each other on a shared physical host in the cloud through virtualization. A hypervisor allocates resources and keeps VMs separate to prevent interference. Cloud providers ensure tenant-level isolation by giving each customer their own dedicated instance of resources like Azure Active Directory, so that VMs and data remain isolated and secure within a customer's own instance.
Resumption of virtual machines after adaptive deduplication of virtual machin...IJECEIAES
In cloud computing, load balancing, energy utilization are the critical problems solved by virtual machine (VM) migration. Live migration is the live movement of VMs from an overloaded/underloaded physical machine to a suitable one. During this process, transferring large disk image files take more time, hence more migration and down time. In the proposed adaptive deduplication, based on the image file size, the file undergoes both fixed, variable length deduplication processes. The significance of this paper is resumption of VMs with reunited deduplicated disk image files. The performance measured by calculating the percentage reduction of VM image size after deduplication, the time taken to migrate the deduplicated file and the time taken for each VM to resume after the migration. The results show that 83%, 89.76% reduction overall image size and migration time respectively. For a deduplication ratio of 92%, it takes an overall time of 3.52 minutes, 7% reduction in resumption time, compared with the time taken for the total QCOW2 files with original size. For VMDK files the resumption time reduced by a maximum 17% (7.63 mins) compared with that of for original files.
Virtual Machine Migration Techniques in Cloud Environment: A Surveyijsrd.com
Cloud is an emerging technology in the world of information technology and is built on the key concept of virtualization. Virtualization separates hardware from software and has benefits of server consolidation and live migration. Live migration is a useful tool for migrating OS instances across distant physical of data centers and clusters. It facilitates load balancing, fault management, low-level system maintenance and reduction in energy consumption. In this paper, we survey the major issues of virtual machine live migration. There are various techniques available for live migration and different parameters are considered for migration.
This document describes a distributed virtual machine monitor (DVMM) that provides single system image (SSI) capabilities on clusters. The DVMM contains symmetrical and cooperative virtual machine monitors (VMMs) distributed across nodes that detect, integrate, and virtualize physical resources to present a global view to the operating system. This allows an unmodified operating system to run transparently across the entire cluster.

The document proposes a Covert Flows Confinement mechanism (CFCC) for virtual machine (VM) coalitions in cloud computing environments. CFCC uses a prioritized Chinese Wall model to control covert information flows between VMs based on assigned labels, allowing flows between similarly-labeled VMs but disallowing flows between VMs from different conflict of interest sets. The architecture features distributed mandatory access control for all VMs and centralized information exchange. Experiments show the performance overhead of CFCC is acceptable. Future work will add application-level flow control for VM coalitions.

Abstract
Virtual machines have been used since the 1960’s in creative
ways. From multiplexing expensive mainframes to providing
backwards compatibility for customers migrating to new hard-
ware, virtualization has allowed users to maximize their usage of
limited hardware resources. Despite virtual machines falling by
the way-side in the 1980’s with the rise of the minicomputer,we
are now seeing a revival of virtualization with virtual machines
being used for security, isolation, and testing among others.
With so many creative uses for virtualization, ensuring high
performance for applications running in a virtual machine be-
comes critical. In this paper, we survey current research to-
wards this end, focusing on the hardware support which en-
ables efficient virtualization. Both Intel and AMD have incor-
porated explicit support for virtualization into their CPUde-
signs. While this can simplify the design of a stand alone virtual
machine monitor (VMM), techniques such asparavirtualization
and hosted VMM’s are still quite effective in supporting virtual
machines.
We compare and contrast current approaches to efficient vir-
tualization, drawing parallels to techniques developed byIBM
over thirty years ago. In addition to virtualizing the CPU, we
also examine techniques focused on virtualizing I/O and the
memory management unit (MMU). Where relevant, we identify
shortcomings in current research and provide our own thoughts
on the future direction of the virtualization field.

Abstract:
Cloud storage services have become commercially popular due to their overwhelming advantages. To provide ubiquitous always-on access, a cloud service provider (CSP) maintains multiple replicas for each piece of data on geographically distributed servers. A key problem of using the replication technique in clouds is that it is very expensive to achieve strong consistency on a worldwide scale. In this paper, we first present a novel consistency as a service (CaaS) model, which consists of a large data cloud and multiple small audit clouds. In the CaaS model, a data cloud is maintained by a CSP, and a group of users that constitute an audit cloud can verify whether the data cloud provides the promised level of consistency or not. We propose a two-level auditing architecture, which only requires a loosely synchronized clock in the audit cloud. Then, we design algorithms to quantify the severity of violations with two metrics: the commonality of violations, and the staleness of the value of a read. Finally, we devise a heuristic auditing strategy (HAS) to reveal as many violations as possible. Extensive experiments were performed using a combination of simulations and real cloud deployments to validate HAS.
Keywords: consistency as a service (CaaS), two-level auditing, heuristic auditing strategy (HAS), Cloud Storage.

CLOUD computing has become commercially more popular, as it swears to guarantee scalability, elasticity, and high availability and at a cost which Is low. Initiated by the trend of the everything-as-a-service model. Data storages, virtualized infrastructure, virtualized platforms, as well as applications and softwares are being provided and consumed as services in the cloud. Cloud storage services can be included as a distinctive service in cloud computing, which considers the delivery of data storage as a service. More often billed on a utility computing basis, e.g., per gigabyte per month. Some of the examples may include Amazon SimpleDB, Microsoft Azure storage, etc. By using the cloud storage services, the data stored in the cloud can be accessed anytime and anywhere, using any device, without much caring about a large amount of investments when deploying the underlying hardware infrastructures.

Passenger car unit (PCU) of a vehicle type depends on vehicular characteristics, stream characteristics, roadway characteristics, environmental factors, climate conditions and control conditions. Keeping in view various factors affecting PCU, a model was developed taking a volume to capacity ratio and percentage share of particular vehicle type as independent parameters. A microscopic traffic simulation model VISSIM has been used in present study for generating traffic flow data which some time very difficult to obtain from field survey. A comparison study was carried out with the purpose of verifying when the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple linear regression (MLR) models are appropriate for prediction of PCUs of different vehicle types. From the results observed that ANFIS model estimates were closer to the corresponding simulated PCU values compared to MLR and ANN models. It is concluded that the ANFIS model showed greater potential in predicting PCUs from v/c ratio and proportional share for all type of vehicles whereas MLR and ANN models did not perform well.

In tube drawing process, a tube is pulled out through a die and a plug to reduce its diameter and thickness as per the requirement. Dimensional accuracy of cold drawn tubes plays a vital role in the further quality of end products and controlling rejection in manufacturing processes of these end products. Springback phenomenon is the elastic strain recovery after removal of forming loads, causes geometrical inaccuracies in drawn tubes. Further, this leads to difficulty in achieving close dimensional tolerances. In the present work springback of EN 8 D tube material is studied for various cold drawing parameters. The process parameters in this work include die semi-angle, land width and drawing speed. The experimentation is done using Taguchi’s L36 orthogonal array, and then optimization is done in data analysis software Minitab 17. The results of ANOVA shows that 15 degrees die semi-angle,5 mm land width and 6 m/min drawing speed yields least springback. Furthermore, optimization algorithms named Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Simulated Annealing (SA) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) are applied which shows that 15 degrees die semi-angle, 10 mm land width and 8 m/min drawing speed results in minimal springback with almost 10.5 % improvement. Finally, the results of experimentation are validated with Finite Element Analysis technique using ANSYS.

Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. Originally applied to water (hydromechanics), it found applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, aerospace, civil, chemical, and biomedical engineering, as well as geophysics, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and biology.
It can be divided into fluid statics, the study of various fluids at rest, and fluid dynamics.
Fluid statics, also known as hydrostatics, is the study of fluids at rest, specifically when there's no relative motion between fluid particles. It focuses on the conditions under which fluids are in stable equilibrium and doesn't involve fluid motion.
Fluid kinematics is the branch of fluid mechanics that focuses on describing and analyzing the motion of fluids, such as liquids and gases, without considering the forces that cause the motion. It deals with the geometrical and temporal aspects of fluid flow, including velocity and acceleration. Fluid dynamics, on the other hand, considers the forces acting on the fluid.
Fluid dynamics is the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. It is a branch of continuum mechanics, a subject which models matter without using the information that it is made out of atoms; that is, it models matter from a macroscopic viewpoint rather than from microscopic.
Fluid mechanics, especially fluid dynamics, is an active field of research, typically mathematically complex. Many problems are partly or wholly unsolved and are best addressed by numerical methods, typically using computers. A modern discipline, called computational fluid dynamics (CFD), is devoted to this approach. Particle image velocimetry, an experimental method for visualizing and analyzing fluid flow, also takes advantage of the highly visual nature of fluid flow.
Fundamentally, every fluid mechanical system is assumed to obey the basic laws :
Conservation of mass
Conservation of energy
Conservation of momentum
The continuum assumption
For example, the assumption that mass is conserved means that for any fixed control volume (for example, a spherical volume)—enclosed by a control surface—the rate of change of the mass contained in that volume is equal to the rate at which mass is passing through the surface from outside to inside, minus the rate at which mass is passing from inside to outside. This can be expressed as an equation in integral form over the control volume.
The continuum assumption is an idealization of continuum mechanics under which fluids can be treated as continuous, even though, on a microscopic scale, they are composed of molecules. Under the continuum assumption, macroscopic (observed/measurable) properties such as density, pressure, temperature, and bulk velocity are taken to be well-defined at "infinitesimal" volume elements—small in comparison to the characteristic length scale of the system, but large in comparison to molecular length scale

"Boiler Feed Pump (BFP): Working, Applications, Advantages, and Limitations E...Infopitaara
A Boiler Feed Pump (BFP) is a critical component in thermal power plants. It supplies high-pressure water (feedwater) to the boiler, ensuring continuous steam generation.
⚙️ How a Boiler Feed Pump Works
Water Collection:
Feedwater is collected from the deaerator or feedwater tank.
Pressurization:
The pump increases water pressure using multiple impellers/stages in centrifugal types.
Discharge to Boiler:
Pressurized water is then supplied to the boiler drum or economizer section, depending on design.
🌀 Types of Boiler Feed Pumps
Centrifugal Pumps (most common):
Multistage for higher pressure.
Used in large thermal power stations.
Positive Displacement Pumps (less common):
For smaller or specific applications.
Precise flow control but less efficient for large volumes.
🛠️ Key Operations and Controls
Recirculation Line: Protects the pump from overheating at low flow.
Throttle Valve: Regulates flow based on boiler demand.
Control System: Often automated via DCS/PLC for variable load conditions.
Sealing & Cooling Systems: Prevent leakage and maintain pump health.
⚠️ Common BFP Issues
Cavitation due to low NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head).
Seal or bearing failure.
Overheating from improper flow or recirculation.
Analysis of reinforced concrete deep beam is based on simplified approximate method due to the complexity of the exact analysis. The complexity is due to a number of parameters affecting its response. To evaluate some of this parameters, finite element study of the structural behavior of the reinforced self-compacting concrete deep beam was carried out using Abaqus finite element modeling tool. The model was validated against experimental data from the literature. The parametric effects of varied concrete compressive strength, vertical web reinforcement ratio and horizontal web reinforcement ratio on the beam were tested on eight (8) different specimens under four points loads. The results of the validation work showed good agreement with the experimental studies. The parametric study revealed that the concrete compressive strength most significantly influenced the specimens’ response with the average of 41.1% and 49 % increment in the diagonal cracking and ultimate load respectively due to doubling of concrete compressive strength. Although the increase in horizontal web reinforcement ratio from 0.31 % to 0.63 % lead to average of 6.24 % increment on the diagonal cracking load, it does not influence the ultimate strength and the load-deflection response of the beams. Similar variation in vertical web reinforcement ratio leads to an average of 2.4 % and 15 % increment in cracking and ultimate load respectively with no appreciable effect on the load-deflection response.

3. ABSTRACT
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud
computing has transform the way we think of acquiring
resources by introducing a simple change: allowing users
to lease computational resources from the cloud
provider’s datacenter for a short time by deploying
virtual machines (VMs) on these resources. This new
model raises new challenges in the design and
development of IaaS middleware. One of those
challenges is the need to deploy a large number
(hundreds or even thousands) of VM instances
simultaneously.
3
4. Once theVM instances are
deployed, another challenge is to simultaneously take a
snapshot of many images and transfer them to persistent
storage to support management tasks, such as suspend-
resume and migration.
With datacenters growing rapidly and
configurations becoming heterogeneous, it is important to
enable efficient concurrent deployment and snapshotting that
are at the same time hypervisor independent and ensure a
maximum compatibility with different configurations.

5. EXISTING SYSTEM
The huge computational potential offered by large distributed
systems is hindered by poor data sharing scalability.

• To give an less performance and storage space.
Network traffic consumption is also very high due to
non concentrating on application status.
• It is not possible to build a scalable, high-performance
distributed data-storage service that facilitates data
sharing at large scale.

A good balance between performance, storage
space, and network traffic consumption.
It handles snapshotting transparently and exposes
standalone, raw image files.

21. Cloud infrastructure
21
IaaS platforms are typically built on top of clusters made out of loosely-
coupled commodity hardware that minimizes per unit cost and favors low
power over maximum speed .
Disk storage (cheap hard-drives with capacities in the order of several
hundred GB) is attached to each machine, while the machines are
interconnected with standard Ethernet links.
The machines are configured with proper virtualization technology, in
terms of both hardware and software, such that they are able to host the
VMs.
In order to provide persistent storage, a dedicated repository is deployed
either as centralized or as distributed storage service running on dedicated
storage nodes.
23. Application state maintenance
23
TheVM deployment is defined at each moment in time by two
main components: the state of each of theVM instances and the
state of the communication channels between them (opened
sockets, in-transit network packets, virtual topology, etc.).
To saving the application state implies saving both the state of all
VM instances and the state of all active communication channels
among them.
While several methods have been established in the virtualization
community to capture the state of a runningVM (CPU registers,
RAM, state of devices, etc.), the issue of capturing the global state
of the communication channels is difficult and still an open
problem.
25. Aggregate the storage&Image mirroring
Aggregate the storage & Image mirroring
25
In most cloud deployments, the disks locally attached to the compute nodes are
not exploited to their full potential. Most of the time, such disks are used to hold
local copies of the images corresponding to the runningVMs, as well as to
provide temporary storage for them during their execution, which utilizes only a
small fraction of the total disk size.
A newVM needs to be instantiated; the underlyingVM image is presented to the
hypervisor as a regular file accessible from the local disk. Read and write
accesses to the file, however, are trapped and treated in a special fashion.
A read that is issued on a fully or partially empty region in the file that has not
been accessed before (by either a previous read or write) results in fetching the
missing content remotely from theVM repository, mirroring it on the local disk
and redirecting the read to the local copy. If the whole region is available locally,
no remote read is performed.Writes, on the other hand, are always performed
locally.
27. Application access pattern
27
AVM typically does not access the whole initial image.
For example, it may never access some applications and
utilities that are installed by default with the operating
system.
In order to model this aspect, it is useful to analyze the life-
cycle of aVM instance, it will based onThree phases.
They are boot, application and shutdown.
29. Optimize multisnapshotting
29
Saving a fullVM image for eachVM is not feasible in the
context of multi snapshotting. Since only small parts of the
VMs are modified, this would mean massive unnecessary
duplication of data, leading not only to an explosion of
utilized storage space but also to unacceptably high
snapshotting time and network bandwidth utilization.
31. Zoom on mirroring
31
One important aspect of on-demand mirroring is the decision of
how much to read from the repository when data is unavailable
locally, in such way as to obtain a good access performance.
A straightforward approach is to translate every read issued by the
hypervisor in either a local or remote read, depending on whether
the requested content is locally available.
While this approach works, its performance is questionable. More
specifically, many small remote read requests to the same chunk
generate significant network traffic overhead (because of the extra
networking information encapsulated with each request), as well as
low throughput (because of the latencies of the requests that add
up).
33. Conclusion
As cloud computing becomes increasingly
popular, efficient management of VM images, such as image
propagation to compute nodes and image snapshotting is
critical.The performance of these operations directly affects
the usability of the benefits offered by cloud computing
systems.This paper introduced several techniques that
integrate with cloud middleware to efficiently handle two
patterns: multideployment and multisnapshotting.
Future enhancement:To provide more
security for the data in the cloud .
