Virtual Machine (VM) live migration is one of the strategic approaches that can be employed to reduce energy consumption and increase the utilisation of a single computer in large computing infrastructure. However, virtualisation in HTC has received limited attention in the literature. In this paper, we present an extension of an existing trace-driven simulation to incorporate virtualisation. Furthermore, we implement the precopy live migration algorithm to provide a test environment for job live migration in HTC system. Our simulation provides the total number of migrations and their overall time of migrations as well as calculates the energy consumption of migrations during its runtime. We validate our tool by presenting some outcomes of simulation. We demonstrate that energy consumption of jobs migrations may consume up to 10% of system total energy.
