Pinning vitual cpus to physical cpus

Post by kgc »

Hi,

I'm running a CentOS guest on a centOS host machine. The host is a 2 machine with 2 sockets, with each socket having 12 cores and each core having 2 hyper threads. 48 physical threads in total. The application we run on the guest relies on thread pinning for accurate measurements (so that each application thread is pinned to a physical cpu). We would like to achieve the same effect under virtualization. Does Virtual box support this scenario? Essentially, we want the virtual cpus to be pinned to physical cpus. Thanks in advance.
