Various embodiments are directed toward improving computing performance for data intensive computing applications by arranging a physical machine into a single computing appliance that includes tightly coupled dedicated computation and storage resources that may scale to multiple peta-byte or greater storage in concert with providing a similarly scaling computing and data caching platform, monitoring co-resident guest applications, and data access applications. Generally, the computing appliance may be arranged to execute compute applications and data storage applications in a single self-contained computing device. The data storage applications may execute within virtual machines (VM's) and the compute applications may execute in other co-resident VM's residing one or more computing appliances.

Combined data storage and computing appliance that provides scalable storage in a clustered computing environment

Various embodiments are directed toward improving Virtual Machine performance by reducing the amount of communication protocol processing performed between co-resident Virtual Machine guest applications executing on the same physical machine. Overhead can be reduced by short-circuiting the full communication protocol stack when a plurality of Virtual Machine guest applications are hosted and executing on the same physical machine such as a data storage node or a compute accelerator node. Improvements may also be realized by enabling the sharing in virtual memory of physical memory pages between co-resident Virtual Machine guest applications, and employing a low latency high bandwidth network for enabling guest applications to communicate with each other that are located in different nodes in a data storage cluster.
