Abstract
The need for high-performance computing in science and technology is becoming a challenging issue in recent years. Building a high-performance computing system by utilizing the existing hardware and software resources is a low-cost solution. Virtualization technology is proposed to solve this problem. It has brought convenience and efficiency as it can run on various operating systems. It can be used for implementing many computational algorithms simultaneously on the same hardware system including parallel processing and/or cluster processing systems. It can be expanded for computation and storage if the resources are still available. Virtualization also can combine the existing hardware and software resources to solve the problem of mobilizing multiple resources. Docker virtualization technology is considered a powerful virtualization technology, offering a new virtualization solution, instead of creating independent virtual machines with different virtual hardware and operating systems. Because this technology allows applications can be repackaged into individual data units and run together on the operating system kernel, sharing the resources of the mobilizing hardware platforms is the strength of Docker. The paper will focus on analyzing the superiority of using hardware virtualization technology, thereby proposing to build a high-performance virtualization system by using Docker technology with utilizing the available hardware platform at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH).
