Abstract
Virtualization has attained mainstream status in enterprise IT industry. Despite its widespread adoption, it is known that virtualization also introduces non-trivial overhead when tasks are executed on a virtual machine (VM). In particular, a combined effect from device virtualization overhead and CPU scheduling latency can cause performance degradation when computation intensive tasks and I/O intensive tasks are co-located on a VM. Such an interference also causes extra energy consumption. In this paper, we present Hylics, a novel solution that enables efficient data traverse paths for both I/O and computation intensive workloads. This is achieved with the provision of in-memory file system and network service at the hypervisor level. Several important design issues are pinpointed and addressed during our prototype implementation, including efficient intermediate data sharing, network service offloading, and QoS-aware memory usage management. Based on our real-world deployment on KVM, we show that Hylics can significantly improve computation and I/O performance for hybrid workloads. Moreover, this design also alleviates the existing virtualization overhead and naturally optimizes the overall energy efficiency.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
