RE: [Xen-users] vcpus higher than real cpus possible?
Same vcpu’s
or less than real cpu’s
for performance.
Having more vcpu’s
assigned to a domu than real cpu’s is not a supported scenario, although it
does seem to work. The scheduling of such
a configuration is a nightmare though, and your guest system will be
interrupting itself when it believes concurrent processing is taking place,
which could (will?) lead to instability.
You would likely see more cpu
time spent on state switching than actual work in such a setup.

But best
approach is to use VCPUs same as real CPUs to achieve best performace right?
Thanks,

Since Xen is always doing
this :) Think for one processor having 2 DomU's
running. Technically you have then 3 vcpu's on the same moment. It is just
about scheduling tasks for a vcpu.
