Abstract
Various systems and methods for placing a virtual machine on one of a plurality of candidate physical machines. For example, one method can involve generating a list that comprises entries for a virtual machine. Each entry in the list indicates a portion of data that is associated with the virtual machine. The method then involves calculating a number of common entries between the list and each of a plurality of candidate lists, where a common entry is an entry that is included in the respective candidate list and in the list. Each candidate list is associated with a computing device. In response to detecting which candidate list has the most common entries, the method involves assigning the virtual machine to the computing device associated with that candidate list.
