Abstract

Difference Engine is an extension to Xen, which is an open-source
hypervisor. The paper, titled "Difference Engine: Harnessing Memory
Redundancy in Virtual Machines", by Diwaker Gupta, Sangmin Lee,Michael
Vrable, Stefan Savage, Alex C. Snoeren, George Varghese, Geoffrey M.
Voelker, and Amin Vahdat, won a best paper award in OSDI'08. I will not
present the conference talk (which is just a taste, and for which slides are
unavailable) but the full paper, including my comments on it.
