Abstract:
Management of contexts that execute on a computer system is described. More specifically, context scheduling in a virtual machine environment is described. A set of coscheduled contexts is monitored. If a skew metric associated with a first context of the coscheduled contexts fails to satisfy a condition, then a subset of the coscheduled contexts is descheduled although the first context remains scheduled.
