Abstract
In one embodiment, a system includes a device and first and second processors. The first and second processors are configured to access first information. The first information includes a first parameter and a second parameter. The first parameter is associated with a position of the device relative to the first processor. The second parameter is associated with a position of the device relative to the second processor. The system is configured to access second information associated with a virtual machine. The virtual machine is configured to run on a host operating system. The virtual machine includes a guest operating system configured to communicate with the device. The system is also configured to automatically select the first processor based at least on the first information and the second information and to associate the virtual machine with the first processor in response to automatically selecting the first processor.
