Well you can present as many virtual resources as your hypervisor will handle. This usually can exceed physical resources. In common terminology that's called over subscribing. In terms of sharing resources between many individual physical nodes, you are now entering the realm of memory / bus pooling. Basically this is the domain of super computing hardware. However, batch job work can be performed on many systems independently and then results collected. This is behind the basic tenants of grid computing. OpenStack could be used to stand up grid computing solutions. Especially with the addition of physical layer provisioning. -Matt On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 12:53 AM, Agauger <hackandg at gmail.com> wrote: > So I was curious if anyone has seen anything with a VM whose computing was > greater than the host, as asked last year > http://forums.openstack.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=824 > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack > Post to : openstack at lists.launchpad.net > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
