    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for improving operation of a memory scheduler operating on a host machine supporting virtual machines (VMs) in which guest operating systems and guest applications run. For each virtual machine, the host machine hypervisor categorizes memory pages into memory usage classes and estimates the total number of pages for each memory usage class. The memory scheduler uses this information to perform memory reclamation and allocation operations for each virtual machine. The memory scheduler further selects between ballooning reclamation and swapping reclamation operations based in part on the numbers of pages in each memory usage class for the virtual machine. Calls to the guest operating system provide the memory usage class information. Memory reclamation not only can improve the performance of existing VMs, but can also permit the addition of a VM on the host machine without substantially impacting the performance of the existing and new VMs.

    Abstract: An example method of scheduling a workload in a virtualized computing system including a host cluster having a virtualization layer directly executing on hardware platforms of hosts is described. The virtualization layer supports execution of virtual machines (VMs) and is integrated with an orchestration control plane. The method includes: receiving, at the orchestration control plane, a workload specification for the workload; selecting, at the orchestration control plane, a plurality of nodes for the workload based on the workload specification, each of the plurality of nodes implemented by a host of the hosts; selecting, by the orchestration control plane in cooperation with a virtualization management server managing the host cluster, a node of the plurality of nodes; and deploying, by the orchestration control plane in cooperation with the virtualization management server, the workload on a host in the host cluster implementing the selected node.

    Abstract: Techniques for implementing RDMA-based recovery of dirty data in remote memory are provided. In one set of embodiments, upon occurrence of a failure at a first (i.e., source) host system, a second (i.e., failover) host system can allocate a new memory region corresponding to a memory region of the source host system and retrieve a baseline copy of the memory region from a storage backend shared by the source and failover host systems. The failover host system can further populate the new memory region with the baseline copy and retrieve one or more dirty page lists for the memory region from the source host system via RDMA, where the one or more dirty page lists identify memory pages in the memory region that include data updates not present in the baseline copy. For each memory page identified in the one or more dirty page lists, the failover host system can then copy the content of that memory page from the memory region of the source host system to the new memory region via RDMA.
