Abstract

The method includes the following steps: step 1. obtaining NUMA topology information of a host machine, and monitoring virtual machine performance events by using a kernel PMU; step 2. implementing a greedy algorithm, and a scheduling decision is obtained; step 3. scheduling, according to the scheduling decision, a virtual CPU (VCPU) and a memory of a virtual machine; step 4. after the scheduling of the virtual machine is complete, redirecting to step 1 to continue performing performance monitoring of the virtual machine.
