Hello, I saw in this mailing list (kvm-devel) that there is a git tree which uses Rusty Russel virtio API. The intention that this tree will be integrated inot mainstream in the near future.
(for example, http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08854.html). My question is about performance of these virtio para virtualized drivers (I am talking mainly about network and disk drivers): How this is in comparison with the paravirtualized drivers of Xen (the split devices model)? I am talking about Xen in its paravirtualized mode, where the guests run unmodified OSes (on ordinary, non virtualized processors). Is the performance about the same as the Xen paravirtualized drivers ? In case is it so, can we see kvm a competitor to Xen in server virtualization (when we deal with a high loads of thousands/ten of thousands of interrupts per second).?
