Abstract:
A method includes, with a hypervisor, detecting that a virtual processor of a virtual machine has accessed a designated address, the designated address being associated with a time value, causing the virtual processor to enter a halt state for a period of time, and causing the virtual processor to exit the halt state after a period of time has passed, the period of time being based on the time value.
