摘要：

Despite of Cloud infrastructures can be used as High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms, many issues from virtualization overhead have kept them almost unrelated. However, with advent of container-based virtualizers, this scenario acquires new perspectives because this technique promises to decrease the virtualization overhead, achieving a near-native performance. In this work, we analyze the performance of a container-based virtualization solution -Linux Container (LXC) - against a hypervisor-based virtualization solution - KVM - under HPC activities. For our experiments, we consider CPU and (network and inter-process) communication performance, and results show the hypervisor type can impact distinctly in performance according to resource used by application.
