Abstract
This disclosure generally relates to enabling a hypervisor of a host machine to provide virtual interrupts to select virtual processors or a set of virtual processors. More specifically, the present disclosure describes how a hypervisor of a host machine may monitor the status of one or more virtual processors that are executing on the host machine and deliver interrupts to the virtual processors based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, a priority of the interrupt, a priority of the virtual processor, a current workload of the virtual processor and so on.
