Abstract
A method of providing virtualization services includes identifying computer programs executable as a plurality of tasks, including identifying tasks from the plurality of tasks. The method includes executing the computer programs by virtual central processing units (CPUs) in a virtual machine executed on a host hardware platform and defined to provide a virtualization platform for virtualization of a target hardware platform. This includes executing the plurality of tasks other than the identified tasks by the virtual CPUs in the virtual machine executed on CPUs of the host hardware platform, and at least partially in parallel with these tasks, executing the identified tasks on additional CPUs of the host hardware platform. The target hardware platform includes one or more CPUs for execution the plurality of tasks no greater in number than the CPUs of the host hardware platform on which the plurality of tasks other than the identified tasks are executed.
