Open Source C Virtualization Software

TurboVNC is a high-performance, enterprise-quality version of VNC based on TightVNC, TigerVNC, and X.org. It contains a variant of Tight encoding that is tuned for maximum performance and compression with 3D applications (VirtualGL), video, and other image-intensive workloads. TurboVNC, in combination with VirtualGL, provides a complete solution for remotely displaying 3D applications with interactive performance. TurboVNC's high-speed encoding methods have been adopted by TigerVNC and libvncserver, and TurboVNC is also compatible with any other TightVNC derivative. TurboVNC forked from TightVNC in 2004 and still covers all of the TightVNC 1.3.x features, but TurboVNC contains numerous feature enhancements and bug fixes relative to TightVNC, and it compresses 3D and video workloads much better than TightVNC while using generally only 5-20% of the CPU time of the latter. Using non-default settings, TurboVNC can also be made to compress 2D workloads as "tightly" as TightVNC.

SnowFlock enables high performance computing on virtual machine (VM)-based cloud environments. In SnowFlock, a VM transparently becomes a cluster of VMs by cloning in sub-second time into multiple copies executing on different physical hosts.

U-tube monitors the memory usage of each VM to detect its memory pressure, and periodically adjusts its memory allocation via memory hotplug. It is implemented as a loadable device driver to coordinate guest OS’ MMU with underlying hypervisor. In contrast to the popular ballooning mechanism, memory hotplug can dynamically expand a guest OS’s physical memory space beyond its maximum configured at booting time.

AlacrityVM is a hypervisor based on the Linux KVM (http://linux-kvm.org) project which aims specifically for high Performance, targeting HPC and Real-Time computing in the data-center.
