Abstract
A system and method for memory coherency acceleration via virtual machine migration comprises a plurality of processors. A first processor of the plurality of processors is configured to implement at least one virtual machine. A monitor is configured to monitor a number of memory requests between the first processor and at least a second processor of the plurality of processors. A virtual machine manager is configured to migrate at least a portion of the virtual machine from the first processor to the second processor based on the number of memory requests exceeding a threshold.
