QEMU Live Migration Device State Transfer Parallelization via Multifd Channels

Explore a 30-minute KVM Forum talk on parallelizing QEMU live migration device state transfer using multifd channels. Dive into the challenges of current single-channel migration, which impacts performance and downtime for VMs with large device states like VFIO SmartNICs and GPUs. Learn about efforts to improve migration efficiency by leveraging multiple migration connections and other parallelization techniques. Gain insights from Maciej S. Szmigiero, a Principal MTS at Oracle, as he shares his expertise in virtualization and live migration performance enhancements. Access accompanying slides for a comprehensive understanding of this advanced topic in QEMU and KVM technology.
