Enhancing MMOG Performance through Cloud Computing

This paper explores a new framework for Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) leveraging cloud computing. It compares traditional client-server and peer-to-peer architectures, emphasizing the cloud's scalability and efficiency. By isolating player resources in individual virtual machines (VMs) and optimizing resource allocation using predictive models, the proposed system aims to reduce network overhead and enhance performance. This innovative approach not only addresses existing architectural challenges but also ensures better data management, fairness, and user interaction in the gaming environment.

  1. A New MMOG Framework On Cloud Computing Environment 張晏誌

  2. Outline • Introduction • Motivation • System Architecture • Comparison • Summary

  3. Introduction • Client-Server Architecture • The most popular architecture of MMOGs. • Centralized management • Satisfies data consistency • Keep games fair • Feasible to charge • Easier to find friends or contact with strangers • It has drawbacks • High cost to achieve good performance • Not scalable • Fat client

  4. Introduction(cont) • Peer-to-Peer Architecture • Another architecture of online games • Distribute framework • More scalable • No performance issue to game operator • It also has drawbacks • Fat client • Unfeasible to charge

  5. Motivation • To provide MMOG service in cloud computing environment. • Take the advantages of cloud computing. • Allocate resources by each player(or a tiny group of players). • To reduce network and VM migration overhead.

  6. System Architecture

  7. System Architecture(cont) • Isolate the resources that every player have into a single VM instance. • Also apply the same change to region server. • Avatar server is placed with its region server, to reduce network traffic. • Use exist works about load prediction (neural network approach or SVM approach…etc.) to achieve more effective resource allocation. • When a player was logged out, the player’s VM was stored as a VM image.

  8. Comparison

  9. Summary • Inspired by PaaS virtual desktop, use the similar concept to operate a MMOG service. • This framework can apply to any exist IaaS cloud service. • Satisfies the five characteristics of cloud computing.
