Intepreting Performance Statistics in VI3

For applications that are underperforming in a physical environment, there are a variety of tools available to help diagnose and pinpoint issues, but what about in a virtual environment? Performance of an application in a virtual machine may depend on more than the application itself or the OS running that application. Instead, the entire virtual environment must be considered.
In this talk, we discuss a variety of tools that are available to help understand performance bottlenecks in virtual machines. We first discuss the various metrics that are collected in VI3, defining what they measure and how they are collected. We then move on to discuss how to use these metrics for performance debugging.
