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 interrupts may be provided to targeted virtual processors, regardless of where the virtual processors are currently executing. That is, when an interrupt is received, the interrupt may be delivered to a specified virtual processor regardless of which logical processor is currently hosting the virtual processor.
