Abstract
Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer-readable media are described herein for a virtual machine monitor. The virtual machine monitor may be configured to determine whether to schedule a virtual central processing unit of one of a plurality of virtual machines on a first physical processing unit of a plurality of physical processing units. Each virtual machine may have one or more virtual central processing units. The determination may be based at least in part on whether a context of the virtual central processing unit suggests a desired cache hit rate on one or more cache units of the apparatus by the first physical processing unit when operating the virtual central processing unit.
