Abstract:
Responsive to receiving a first request from an application to create a thread for the application, a guest operating system sends a first notification to a hypervisor to create a dedicated virtual processor for the thread. Responsive to receiving an identifier associated with the dedicated virtual processor from the hypervisor, the guest operating system starts the thread using the dedicated virtual processor, and pins the thread to the dedicated virtual processor.
